Loaded with cream and cheese, just like enchiladas Suizas, these chilaquiles are made with Real California Crema Mexicana, Monterey Jack cheese and milk. Spiced with three kids of chiles: jalapeño, serrano and guero, and flavored with the tanginess of tomatillos and cilantro make this sauce, one of the most popular in my home during breakfast time. During the holidays, our breakfasts and burnches are slightly more special. Because everyone is on vacation, we have a bit more time to enjoy our breakfast prep. After the holiday shopping rush and holiday dinners and get-togethers, mornings with just the family create memorable moments we will cherish forever. We love all types of chilaquiles. But these chilaquiles suizos are on top of our list for a special holiday breakfast. I love using Real California Milk products whenever my recipes call for dairy. To find Real California Milk products, look for the seal. The seal guarantees high quality dairy products made with sustainably sourced milk from California dairy families.
