difference between chilaquiles and migas
When I set out to make chilaquiles, I had in mind the brunch dish, a sort of tortilla and egg casserole with melted cheese. And while I found recipes for what I was looking for, I also stumbled into a fierce debate about the difference between chilaquiles and a Texas dish called migas, which I've cooked before for Dinner Tonight.
Chilaquiles, pronounced chee-lah-KEY-lehs, are a popular Mexican dish traditionally made from three basic ingredients: corn tortillas, salsa and cheese. The foundation of chilaquiles is the tortillas, which are cut up into quarters, strips or squares or broken into pieces and then fried.
