Directions:

For the Tortilla Chips (both Verdes & Rojos):

Fry the Tortillas:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla triangles in batches and fry until crispy and golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Alternatively, you can bake or air-fry the tortilla triangles until crispy for a lighter version.

Divide the Chips:
Once crispy, divide the fried tortilla chips into two separate portions: one for the chilaquiles verdes and the other for the chilaquiles rojos.

For the Chicken Chilaquiles Verdes:

Heat the Salsa Verde:
In a skillet, heat the salsa verde over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Add a pinch of salt to taste.

Add the Tortilla Chips and Chicken:
Toss one portion of the fried tortilla chips into the salsa verde, stirring gently to coat all the chips. Add half of the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the chips to absorb some of the salsa but still remain slightly crispy.

Plate:
Transfer the chicken chilaquiles verdes to one half of the plate.

For the Chicken Chilaquiles Rojos:

Heat the Salsa Roja:
In another skillet, heat the salsa roja over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Add a pinch of salt to taste.

Add the Tortilla Chips and Chicken:
Toss the remaining fried tortilla chips into the salsa roja, stirring gently to coat all the chips. Add the remaining shredded chicken and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chips to absorb some of the salsa while keeping a slight crunch.

Plate:
Transfer the chicken chilaquiles rojos to the other half of the plate.

Toppings & Serve:

Top with Garnishes:
Sprinkle both the chicken chilaquiles verdes and rojos with crumbled queso fresco, a drizzle of Mexican crema, and chopped cilantro. Add optional toppings like fried or scrambled eggs, avocado slices, pickled jalapeños, or sliced onions.

Serve:
Serve your Half Chicken Chilaquiles Verdes & Half Chicken Chilaquiles Rojos Mexican Breakfast Plate with a side of beans or warm tortillas for a delicious, balanced meal.

Enjoy this flavorful and hearty breakfast, giving you the best of both worlds—verde and rojo! 😋
