Red Curry Chilaquiles
January 7, 2020
When making chilaquiles, it is important to use homemade chips or really good quality ones, or it will end up just being mush.
Start with the curry paste and some of the frying oil from the chips. Then add coconut milk.
Toss the chips in the curry mixture.
Then top with bamboo shoots, cilantro, scallions, lime, and coconut crema.
An of course the fried eggs. Yum!
