Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.

- Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Notes
Chilaquiles can be served with toppings like avocado slices, crumbled cheese, or a drizzle of fresh lime juice for added flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat in the oven to retain crispness.
