Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican dish that simmers (often leftover) fried corn tortillas in a salsa or mole sauce. We took the dinnertime favorite and gave it a brunch-ready twist in this casserole recipe. Eggs are layered on top of the tortilla chips, cheese and sauce for a hearty breakfast bake that’s sure to be a hit! Top with fresh ingredients (hello, avocado, queso fresco and cilantro!) and be ready for everyone at the table to be grabbing seconds.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    While we tested with Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, Cheddar or even mozzarella would work well in this recipe.
  • tip 2
    If your casserole dish is a little shallow, consider spraying the foil before placing on top of the chip mixture to prevent the cheese from sticking to the foil.
  • tip 3
    A drizzle of Mexican hot sauce or Sriracha adds a nice kick to this dish.
