OCTOBER 24, 2019 2:46 PM EDT

We all love comfort food, especially when it is jam packed with whopping amounts of flavor — something that is naturally incorporated into any chilaquiles recipe. Chilaquiles (chill-a-kee-les) are a traditional Mexican breakfast dish that incorporates tortillas, green or red salsa (dealers choice often time), cheese and refried beans.

This breakfast of champions comes with a myriad of variations: instead of the red or green salsa it can come with mole (yum) or it can be topped with pulled chicken, crema, crumbly queso fresco, onions or avocado slices — the delicious possibilities are endless!
