Chila-Killas for Life

Chilaquiles is another one of my favorite breakfasts, this one is of Mexican decent. The first time I had this stuff I was working at a Greek restaurant, the kitchen staff used to make it a lot because they were high all the time. A lot of people have their own versions of Chilaquiles, you can pretty much put what ever you want in it but there are some key ingredients that serve as the foundation of the dish. I use small corn tortillas, salsa verde, eggs and if you want to make it even less healthy you can add refried beans, sour cream and cheese. First, (1) get a stack of about 5 corn tortillas and cut them into sixths. Next, (2) throw some oil or Pam in your skillet and fry the tortillas until the start to get crispy. Now, (3) add beaten or egg whites to the skillet, follow that up with the salsa verde. Finally, (4) if your gonna choose to be a fatty and add the cheese and sour cream, wait until you plate your meal to do so, and serve the beans on the side. As I said before there are a lot of different ways to make this, the dudes at the restaurant used to cook it in big pans like a casserole. Try it and if you don't like it you can go to hell Cholo!
