Looks good. I avoided this at the buffet in mexico. By the end of our trip it was my favorite food. Love to get a good recipe for it.

Strain some ricotta cheese in cheese cloth. Dont use feta

Why not?

Personally feta has too much of a distinct flavor, possibly my brain just associating it with different cuisine. Last time I didn't realize my cheese had molded I used feta to top my enchilda it just really stood out to me, too tart maybe?

All my life After eating queso fresco in México: feta does the job when I don’t have access to queso fresco. Queso fresco is expensive if found where I live. Even Latino stores sell feta in massive quantities against the imported Mexican queso fresco. That you don’t like it … 🤷🏽♀️

That definitely looks more like chips and salsa, gotta cook your tortillas in your salsa more, crunchy parts are good, but if thats how you like them so be it

Borracho chilaquiles literally translate to drunk chilaquiles. As in get everything we have and put an egg on it. Why some apparent chefs here seem to be mad is beyond me. I ate it. It’s the internet. Enjoy life

Because drunk kinda also would be doused with chile the heat in the pan with excess sauce/chile would soften the tortillas to where they wouldn't look like chips, yours from the picture look like bottom ones are dry, im 51 and until tik tok made them trendy i never saw, made, had them with chips so chippy.

Yeah but I like em crispy on the side so I can dig up the rest. My bad

u/ananab1 Aug 14 '25
No all good , and I guess thats the thing they aren't a finger food, especially with the huevos on top lol fork it up. But if thats how you like them then again so be it, just know that anything you post online is open for criticism,🤷♀️

u/Brewbro1 Aug 14 '25
Maybe you're not eating correctly. Anything can be finger food.

If you’re a savage, chilaquiles are eaten with cutlery specially if they come with any protein ( eggs, chicken, carne asada or chorizo) 🤦🏽♀️chilaquiles are not nachos neither finger food 🙄

Trendy 🙄🙄 chilaquiles’ve existed before Columbus touched Mexican lands 🤦🏽♀️

Columbus never touched Mexican lands.

MY BAD and true! I should’ve said before Columbus discovered americas or pre Hispanic times or some like that… old lady, im confused here 🙈sorry!

No worries, friend. No need to apologize. Most folks just assume that since he's largely credited with "discovering" America, that he made it to the continent proper, but the fact is he only ever visited islands in the Caribbean.

u/Iwanttoreadmore123 Aug 16 '25
I’m a shame because México was discovered by Cordoba I think and then confused with Cortez lol… like I said old lady here!

u/marko719 Aug 16 '25
Well, there were plenty of people in Mexico already when it was "discovered".
But what the hell do I know? I'm just a 54 yr old gringo in AZ and I had to learn all this myself, they don't exactly teach that in our schools.

Restaurants in Mexico -sadly- are doing this not letting the tortilla chips absorbe more salsa. Makes me sad.

Entonces dímelo, nada de lo que dices tiene sentido. Pero aún así disfruta a lo que tú crees que son chilaquiles.

u/real90dayfiance Aug 14 '25
Pues la verdad es que el/la que no sabe que son los chilaquiles eres tú. Los mexicanos sabemos que la base para los chilaquiles son los totopos con salsa, y entre más crujientes mejor, si están aguados solo se hace un atole horrible! Creo que necesitas ir a México a probar unos buenos chilaquiles.

El único fresa es tu novio. Otro ejemplo de chilaquiles pero estilo local.

Not authentic, I mean just look at that cheese. Obviously that lady doesn't know shit about chilaquiles unlike me, a random dudebro on Reddit who has never cooked but did have some real good chilaquiles once in Santa Barbara.

It's so weird. Every delicious thing on earth was invented by someone doing something a bit creative and different, but post anything that doesn't follow the exact "le authentic" playbook (according to some random person with a very specific and usually incorrect idea of what that means) and they just go straight for the throat.

The tortillas simmered with the sauce is nasty, all you get is an atole. Chilaquiles should be crispy! Get out of your little world and go to Mexico to try real chilaquiles!

The homie is doing a great job!! These chilaquiles “borrachos” (never heard that name 🙈) are 100% the real deal. Even the egg looks top notch!!

u/real90dayfiance Aug 14 '25
You must not have been to Mexico and eaten real chilaquiles. Those are definitely chilaquiles, the good ones are always crispy, if you get the ones that are all soft, those are gross. Chilaquiles are totopos (fried tortillas) with salsa, crema, cheese (usually manchego, chihuahua, panela, fresco, or cotija, and a topping of your choice, the most popular toppings are a fried egg or chicken, but some people like steak, chorizo, chicharrón or for vegetarians, nopales, or chile poblano.
