I loooove chilaquiles – what I love even more is making a homemade rojo sauce to mix with it. To make the sauce, all you need to do is roast tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, garlic cloves, olive oil, adobo sauce and salt & pepper till charred and roasted – then blend, mix with tortilla chips and top with your favorite accompaniments! (PS: I suggest making this with leftover turkey for thankgiving leftovers this week.. thank me later).

We used Happy Eggs heritage breed eggs for this recipe (take a closer look at that amazing yolk color!). The egg shells are blue and brown and are so different in both look and taste. The breeds come from two different types of hens – the Copper Maran and the Speckled Legbar. The eggs have amber yolks, creamier tasting because they have over eight acres of pasture to roam. The hens’ feed on a vegetarian, all-natural, hormone free, specially formulated diet of corn, which also gives way to the better-tasting creamier eggs. I am literally obsessed with these heritage breed and they are currently always in my fridge. The way the hens are raised make such a difference in both taste and look that once you try it, you just can’t go back.
