Why chilaquiles are the world's most underrated and essential breakfast dish
In short: J. Kenji López-Alt demonstrates his approach to chilaquiles, a dish he considers one of the great breakfasts globally. This video highlights his flexible method for preparing the meal using store-bought ingredients and emphasizes the importance of quality components for achieving the perfect texture.
The preparation focuses on a simple, adaptable technique. Kenji opts for high-quality store-bought salsa, thinned with water rather than chicken stock, and emphasizes the necessity of using excellent chips. If premium store-bought chips are unavailable, he recommends frying fresh tortillas to ensure the dish reaches its full potential.
