Chilaquiles are one of Mexico's most popular breakfasts. Totopos (crunchy fried corn tortilla triangles) are doused in either a green tomatillo sauce (salsa verde) or spicy red tomato sauce (salsa roja), and then topped with cream, sliced onions and crumbled queso fresco (a local mild white cheese). But there’s no right or wrong when it comes to the toppings; the dish’s beauty lies in its versatility, with variations including fried eggs, shredded chicken, beef, avocado, chorizo, melted cheese and more.
