My mom at age 82 preparing Chilaquiles for us!
Chilaquiles are a very easy and simple dish to make that has been a tradition on the tables of Mexican families for so many centuries. The origins of them are still not certain, some think that the Aztecs invented them. Others think they were invented in the colonial times where the Aztec and the Spanish culture collided. Furthermore there is some information that traces them all the way specifically to a convent. It was not until the 1800's that a Chilaquiles recipe appeared on a recipe book and the basic recipe is still the same.
