The dish
Chilaquiles is what happens when last night’s tortillas meet this morning’s salsa. Crisp tortilla chips simmered briefly (60 seconds, never longer) in either red or green salsa — long enough to soften the chips at their edges but keep some structure. Crumbled queso fresco, crema and fresh onion on top. Add pulled chicken or another topping for AED 15.
The dish you order on Sunday brunch and never on a Wednesday lunch.
Why we make it this way
Chilaquiles have a 90-second window before they go from “softened perfectly” to “soggy texture-soup.” We plate them at 60 seconds and rush them out. Eat fast.
