Chilaquiles Recipe

August 14, 2017

This is actually my mom’s version of Chilaquiles. In Mexico where we learned to eat them, they don’t deep fry the tortillas, just brown in oil. They use fresh tomatoes with onions and chiles blended. They let the tortillas get soggy. I prefer the tortillas crisp, but of course the sauce made with fresh ingredients… [continue reading]

July 20, 2017

Some of our best friends in Mexico were originally from Nicaragua and Costa Rica.  I understand that Gallo Pinto is a staple  in both countries.  We learned to eat Gallo Pinto from them.  Benito makes the BEST Gallo Pinto.  His daughters say his is the best because he makes it with the most oil.  Gallo… [continue reading]
