This Green Chile & Extra Cheese Chilaquiles Skillet is the ultimate saucy, cheesy comfort dish — a dreamy blend of crispy tortilla chips simmered in bold red sauce and loaded with melty cheese and roasted green chiles. It’s fast, cozy, and bursting with flavor, making it perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick weeknight craving. Every bite delivers that irresistible combo of tender-yet-crispy chips, warm chile spice, and gooey cheese that stretches beautifully right out of the skillet.
The magic of chilaquiles lies in balance: you want chips that soften just enough to absorb the sauce while still keeping a little crunch in the center. Tossing them gently ensures they hold their shape and don’t turn mushy. The green chiles add that signature New Mexican kick, pairing perfectly with the richness of cheddar and mozzarella (or Monterey Jack) for maximum melt.
