Chilaquiles are undeniably delicious, but can sometimes feel heavy due to the abundance of meat, melted cheese and tortilla chips smothered in sauce. This recipe makes a few healthier substitutions: using turkey chorizo instead of pork means fewer calories but the same spicy flavor, and swapping fried tortilla chips for corn tortillas means a lighter texture and fewer calories. The egg and chorizo mixture soaks up the savory enchilada sauce, and everything is topped off with gooey melted cheese. For more topping ideas, try sliced avocado, lime wedges, cilantro or hot sauce.

Directions

Mealthy Tip

Vegetarian? Use crumbled tofu instead of eggs and find a soy-based chorizo. Vegan? Do the same and omit the cheese or use your favorite cheese substitute. For added heat, add some chopped jalapeño peppers to the tomatoes. To change things up, try salsa verde instead of enchilada sauce.

Chilaquiles is my favorite brunch food! For this recipe I used green enchilada sauce instead of the traditional red, with a fried egg on top. Incredible!

Greg Jones says:

I love these chilaquiles, it is one of my favorite dishes. I use regular chorizo, and it added a delicious spicy flavor. Definitely a satisfying dish that's perfect for cheat day.
