Yucatán-Style Chilaquiles

Chilaquiles are a staple of Mexican cuisine prepared with fried tortilla chips spooned over with spicy sauce and topped with cream, cheese, and onion. If you want to give a twist to the classic chilaquiles recipe, try these Yucatán-style chilaquiles made with Habanero-based sauce and drool-worthy cochinita pibil, a tender slow-roasted pork marinated in achiote and orange juice that is a traditional dish from the Yucatán Peninsula. Topped with pickled onions, these chilaquiles are set to become a family favorite!
