Although I rarely cook Mexican food, this chilaquiles recipe kind of set the stage for my cooking style. It was the first time I snuck shredded zucchini in a dish. And it was one of the first dishes that gave me the confidence to start playing around with modifications.
This time around, I modified by adding pulled chicken thigh meat and substituting regular corn tortillas with sprouted corn tortillas. And let me just tell ya, this was the best chilaquiles yet!
