Full of cooling freshness and packed with flavor, these chilaquiles are definitely worth double (okay, triple) dipping. When paired with a crisp tortilla, the crunch of the chip mixes with the sharp jalapeños and verdant tomatillos. It has smooth creme, spicy peppers, the “snap” of the thick chips, and the silky queso fresca all working together and creating something unique and exciting.
Adam Beauchamp of Creature Comforts Brewing created these crowd pleasing chilaquiles to highlight the hoppy aromatics and juicy mouthfeel in the brewery’s Tropicalia IPA. If you’re looking for something new to bring to the next event, this is the recipe for you.
