Chilaquiles Breakfast Casserole

Healthy Fact of the Day

Chilaquiles Breakfast Casserole is a flavorful and protein-packed dish, but you can make it even healthier with a few simple swaps. Use baked tortilla chips instead of fried to reduce oil, and opt for low-fat cheese or dairy-free alternatives to cut down on saturated fat. Adding vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or tomatoes boosts fiber and nutrients, while using egg whites or a mix of whole eggs and egg whites can lighten the dish while maintaining protein. Serve with avocado or Greek yogurt for a creamy, nutrient-rich topping!

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
