If you’re like most, chances are you love Mexican cuisine. Tacos, quesadillas, and nachos are all par for the course when camping. Chilaquiles are a less popular Mexican dish that your entire family is sure to enjoy when you give them a try. They’re super easy to make and can be made ahead of time in the oven if you don’t want to make them over the campfire.
Chilaquiles are made by quartering and deep frying corn tortillas. In parts of Central Mexico the tortilla chips are supposed to stay crisp. To achieve this you simply avoid pouring the salsa until before serving. Other regions of Mexico have the chilaquiles simmering and turned into almost a polenta type texture. Some areas use a cream sauce, while others enjoy a red sauce. Truly, you can customize this dish to meet your needs.
These camping chilaquiles are a great option for anyone seeking a quick, fun to make recipe that promises to take them south of the border, regardless of where they are on the road.
