Cast Iron Chilaquiles
Breakfast never tasted this good! This is a new version of a traditional Mexican breakfast. I made it in a cast iron skillet. It is fairly simple to make you just have to find the right ingredients. The secret to this one is the spicy chorizo sausage. I bought it and the fresh tortilla chips at a local Mexican grocery store. Using sausage is not a must, you could easily substitute your favorite breakfast sausage and add some red chile flakes to spice it up. I hope you will make it soon.

This traditional Mexican dish is normally made with tortilla chips, enchilada sauce and cheese. My version is far from the traditional dish you find in Mexico. It is loaded with fresh tortillas chips from my local Mexican grocery store, spicey chorizo sausage, gluten-free red chile enchilada sauce, eggs, and lots of fresh veggies for garnish. Shown here with diced tomatoes, cilantro leave, and diced onion. This dish is one that you can add your favorite ingredients and make it your own. Gotta LOVE that!

Cast Iron Chilaquiles
I had chilaquiles in Mexico many years ago. The version I had was plain. It had crispy tortilla chips with enchilada sauce and some shredded cheese. I always add eggs for extra protein. You could fry them separate but I choose to add the eggs directly to the pan. Adding fresh tomatoes, cilantro and chopped onion also brightens up this dish. Plus it makes for a more balanced meal. You Gotta get the veggies in where you can!
