CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Chef Omar Garcia with MAS Tortilleria joins QC Life to celebrate National Tortilla Chip Day and teach how to make a fresh tortilla.
Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican comfort dish made from fresh corn tortillas that are cut into quarters, lightly fried, and simmered in salsa until tender with lightly crisp edges. They are typically topped with eggs, queso fresco, crema, avocado, and sometimes shredded chicken or steak. Originally created to use leftover tortillas, they have become a beloved brunch staple.
