Vegan Green Chilaquiles
I grew up eating chilaquiles on weekends and these Vegan Green Chilaquiles are everything you want in your weekend breakfast and more!
This recipe skips out on oil and are made with corn tortillas and pure plants. Traditionally chilaquiles are either made with red tomatoes or green ones. I prefer green ones because tomatillos (green tomatoes) are SO GOOD. They’re slightly tart and make for a great salsa.
I can’t wait for you guys to make these super easy, delicious chilaquiles.
