Marie

“I liked them a lot, they are so good! But I would rather have them as a snack while having some beers or after a night out… 8.5 would be the best I can give them.”

As a mexican making these chilaquiles which are my favorite food, I have to say that they turned out better than I expected, it was hard finding the ingredients specially the tortilla chips, but eventhough the ingredients were a little different than the ones i would’ve used back home, the overall result was very good. 

The cooking was really easy and done in less than an hour. I have to say that I tried them and thought of how my grandmother used to make them for me when I was younger. It is definitely my favorite Mexican breakfast. I would have them everyday  if I could, and the ones I made here in Kiel are definitely worth a 10 out of 10 in my opinion. However, next time I will make them a little more spicy. Have you tried Chilaquiles? Would you dare to have a full plate? Let us know.
