Chilaquiles are called Migas by Gringos. Itz not a Migas, iz Chilaquiles... They are informal enchiladas. A formal Enchilada has a nice, fresh Tortilla that is rolled. Chilaquiles use the leftover bits. Nachos are even more formal than Chilaquiles. Nachos are usually Round, or Triangular Tortilla chips that are uniform. You want the best, freshest Tortilla chips for the Nachos. Chilaquiles are different. Chilaquiles are made with the leftover scraps. Those little bits of Tortilla chips leftover at the bottom of the bag. To us Texicans, some of the best food is the leftover bits that no one else wants which makes it dirt cheap.
You want to start with a little too much butter in a pan to fry the Tortilla bitz...
Then dump in the Tortilla flotsam, you know, the little leftover bitz from the bottom of the Tortilla Chip bag.
Let the Tortilla flotsam fry for a while, then dump in some Eggs.
This is like a Country Scramble. Put the Eggs in whole, let them set up a little, then knock them around.
Then dump in some cheeze. Whatever you have. This is Cheddar, but it can be whatever is leftover.
Then knock that around a while, and itz Chilaquiles. Nomlishous.
Then I load them on a plate, add a side of my Wagyu Beef Chili, then Nom Nom Nom...
Harley says Om Nom Nom Nom... I think that those are his favorite words...
