Today I have a Mexican dish for you called Chilaquiles. This dish is usually served for breakfast or brunch, but I served it up for dinner. It is a great recipe to use up corn tortillas and salsa. Think of this dish as a Mexican quiche. This recipe originates from The Inns at El Rancho Merlita in Tuscon, AZ and is one of their most popular dishes.
Chilaquiles
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (16 oz.) container cottage cheese

- 1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chiles, undrained
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- salsa, guacamole, and sour cream – optional for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk in large bowl until blended. Add cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, cut tortillas, green chiles, cilantro, and green onion; mix well.

- Place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Bake, uncovered, for 50 min. or until puffed and golden brown.
- Cut into wedges and top with salsa to serve.

thanks for the recipe. Looks amazing
This looks GREAT!! I can’t wait to give it a try. And I’m definitely topping mine with guacamole – avocados are one of my favorite ways to add a little flavor and even a little fiber to dishes.
Oh I can’t wait to try this! What a GREAT spin on a quiche & sooo easy to make
Never heard of this but it looks yummy!
