When you’re craving Mexican comfort food but don’t have a lot of time, give this easy Chilaquiles Verdes recipe a try. Chilaquiles are Mexican-style eggs scrambled with tortilla chips that have been heated in salsa until they’re deliciously soft but still have a delicate crunch. These green chilaquiles get their color and tangy flavor from tomatillo salsa (also known as salsa verde). Our Mexicorn®—a blend of corn kernels and diced red and green bell peppers—adds color, flavor, and just the right crunchy texture.
