INDULGE’s Daily Dish: A traditional Mexican favorite served at Coyo Taco, that works for every meal

A Mexican dish consisting of corn tortillas cut in quarters and lightly fried, Chilaquiles – from the Nahuatl word chīlāquilitl – is a favorite of diners at Coyo Taco locations across South Florida. Owner and chef Scott Linquist edited the recipe for INDULGE, substituting some basic ingredients with store-bought options that many of us have in our pantries. Crunchy, cheesy and scrumptious, this dish will add a perfect kick of spice what may seem like an otherwise ho-hum weekday.

Chilaquiles Con Huevos (serves 4)

Ingredients:

8 eggs cooked sunny side, or scrambled if you prefer

8 ounces tortilla chips

12 ounces salsa (opt for store-purchased salsa like Herdez salsa verde)

4 ounces mexican crema or sour cream

16 ounces grated white cheddar and Monterrey Jack cheese (store bought options will work)

8 ounces refried black beans or canned refried beans, if available

4 ounce pico de gallo

1 ounce guacamole

4 tablespoons cotija cheese

Pinch chopped cilantro on each serving

Preparation:

For Chilaquiles: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large sized mixing bowl add chips, salsa, sour cream and half of the grated cheese and toss until all chips are coated with sauce, cheese and crema/sour cream. Place the mixture in a large baking dish, sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top of the chilaquiles and bake for about 15 minutes until cheese is fully melted and chips are lightly browned.

To Plate: In 4 medium sized serving bowls spoon warm black beans in the center of each bowl and then pile the chilaquiles on top, place fried/scrambled eggs next, then spoon a dollop of sour cream and guacamole in the center of each portion, sprinkle with cotija cheese and pico de gallo, garnish with cilantro.

Chef’s note: Get creative and add proteins like cooked chorizo, browned ground beef, or shredded chicken.
