These Chilaquiles with Beef Chorizo and Spicy Chipotle Crema are an ode to my madre. She is the inspiration for many of the recipes I share here on Lola’s Cocina and the reason I developed a love of cooking at the ripe old age of eight.

You can find my full recipe (and many other tasty recipes!) on the Cacique® #GoAutentico blog. Check it out and treat someone special to a meal inspired by my beloved México lindo y querido.
