Chilaquiles
A traditional Mexican breakfast, made with a South American flair (quinoa tortillas). Add grilled potatoes and a side of beans for a complete meal that can be served any time of day. The recipe for Chilaquiles is adapted from Karyn’s on Green Restaurant’s Chef Karyn Calabrese. Karen uses tofu, but we prefer organic eggs (which are more traditional), because soy is problematic for so many people.
