– **Fried Eggs**: A classic topping for chilaquiles. The runny yolk adds richness to the dish.
– **Cheese**: Cotija cheese or queso fresco are popular choices, but you can use any cheese that melts well, such as Monterey Jack.
– **Sour Cream**: A dollop of sour cream balances the heat and adds a creamy texture to the dish.
– **Avocado**: Sliced avocado is another essential topping that adds freshness and creaminess to the dish.
– **Onions**: Thinly sliced red or white onions, often pickled, are a great way to add a crunchy, tangy contrast to the soft tortillas and sauce.
– **Cilantro**: Fresh cilantro leaves add a burst of herbaceous flavor and color.
#### 2.4 **Optional Garnishes**
– You can also add garnishes like radishes, lime wedges, or shredded chicken to elevate the dish further.

### 3. **Types of Chilaquiles**
While the base of chilaquiles remains the same, there are a few different ways to make them. Here are the most common variations:
#### 3.1 **Chilaquiles Rojos (Red Chilaquiles)**
– As the name suggests, these chilaquiles are made with a red sauce. The sauce is made by blending roasted dried chiles, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices. It’s typically spicier and has a deep, smoky flavor.
#### 3.2 **Chilaquiles Verdes (Green Chilaquiles)**
– Green chilaquiles are made with a tangy, slightly spicy green sauce made from tomatillos and green chiles. These chilaquiles have a fresher, more citrusy taste.
#### 3.3 **Chilaquiles with Mole**
– For a richer variation, some people use mole as the sauce, creating a deep, complex flavor profile that blends the chiles, chocolate, and spices.
#### 3.4 **Chilaquiles with Meat**
– While the base of the dish is vegetarian, you can add cooked chicken, pork, or beef to your chilaquiles to make them heartier.
