Chilaquiles (pronounced “chee-lah-keel-ehs”) is a Mexican dish made up of fried crispy tortilla chips, a red or green sauce, fried eggs and various toppings and garnishes.
Chilaquiles are said to have been first brought to America in a cookbook by Encarnación Pinedo, “The Spanish Cook” in 1898. The basic makings of traditional chilaquiles are simply crunchy fried corn tortilla pieces, with a chile salsa over them; simmered until the tortilla starts softening to absorb the sauce's flavor.
Not only is this dish affordable, but it's also great for entertaining since both major components (the chips and the sauce) can be made in advance. Chilaquiles are also a great meatless option, and amazing for weeknights when you're in need of a dish that's ready in under 30 minutes.
Crema, onions, and cheese are common, and some versions feature beans or a meat like shredded chicken, beef, or pork. Depending on what toppings you use, chilaquiles can easily transcend breakfast to pass for lunch or dinner.
In restaurants, this dish often offers up several servings of rice, beans, and meat. That's topped with scoops of high-fat cheese and sour cream. Then it's all wrapped up in a giant flour tortilla. The result is a meal that can clock in at 900 calories or more.
A plain omelette made with two large eggs, a tsp of water, a small amount (about 1 tsp) of olive oil and seasoned with a tiny pinch of salt and some pepper would contain about 183 calories.
A single, large scrambled egg has 91 calories, likely because of the addition of milk, and a large egg that's been cooked in an omelet has 94 calories. Basically, if you're cooking the egg in some kind of fat, be it oil or butter, or adding milk, your egg is going to have more calories than if it was raw.
