Make This Middle Eastern Twist on Chilaquiles

Plate of shakaquiles, topped with cilantro and feta cheese

By Allegra Ben-Amotz

This dish marries the vibrant flavors of Mexican chilaquiles with the savory goodness of Middle Eastern shakshuka, delivering a mouthwatering blend of tastes and textures. Starting with sautéed onions and bell peppers in olive oil, we infuse them with smoked paprika, cumin, and Aleppo pepper for a flavorful base. Hand-crushed tomatoes simmer into a velvet sauce, complementing perfectly poached eggs. Served atop crispy corn tortilla chips and topped with crumbled feta, parsley, and cilantro, each bite offers a mix of crunch, creaminess, and freshness. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
