I love breakfast foods and I love chips and salsa! So I thought I would try making some Chorizo Chilaquiles using some leftover chips and salsa from a recent taco night and it is SO good! I know, I know … WHAT leftover chips and salsa? Who has leftover chips and salsa? Ok, I had a stack of leftover tortillas which I then sliced up and fried in order to make “leftover” chips.
This is seriously such a hearty, filling breakfast with the carbs from the chips and the protein from the egg!
The full printable recipe is below, but you’ll need a few ingredients including:
- Chips
- Salsa
- Chorizo
- Pinto Beans
- Eggs
- Avocado
- Quesa Fresca
- Cilantro
I didn’t include specific measurements in my recipe for these Chorizo Chilaquiles, because you really don’t need them. Make a huge batch of chips and use half a jar of salsa, a can of beans and fry up 2-3 eggs, or simply make one plate and just use a third of a cup of salsa, a third of a can of beans, and fry up 1 egg. Since it isn’t baking, it doesn’t matter! Just cook it to your taste! Plus Chorizo Chilaquiles are great for making when you have a bunch of leftovers. Use leftover tortilla chips, chorizo, scrambled eggs, shredded chicken or pork, bacon, beans, peppers, cheese, etc. The possibilities of what you can add are endless!

I know where I’m coming to watch the games this week! I’ve lived on the east coast my entire life, so the thought of a football game starting at 10am is so strange to me. But, hey, it’s a great reason to whip up some delicious gameday breakfast for everyone! Thanks for sharing! #client
