Chilaquiles

Chilaquiles (May's favorite breakfast) are a traditional Mexican dish that dates back to the Aztec times, serving as a delightful way to utilize leftover tortillas. To create chilaquiles, slightly stale corn tortillas are cut into quarters and lightly fried to form the base of the dish. These crispy tortilla pieces are then simmered in a green or red salsa, softening them slightly while infusing them with flavor. The result is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes, further enriched by various toppings such as shredded chicken, scrambled or fried eggs, sour cream, queso fresco or cotija, chopped onions. Chilaquiles are often garnished with avocado slices and served with refried beans, making them a popular choice for breakfast or brunch, though they're enjoyed at any time of day.

From Global Adventures to Homely Flavors: The Birth of Dos Amigos Foods

In the vibrant atmosphere of their business school, best friends May and Edgar bonded over a shared spirit of adventure and a love for diverse flavors. Post-graduation, they embarked on a global journey with just $300, working various jobs to fund their pursuit of culinary and business inspirations. Despite a planned European and Middle Eastern exploration, life diverted them when May fell in love, leading to separate decades of adventures that enriched their lives with a myriad of flavors and experiences. However, a global pandemic and a chilling brush with death brought them back together, reinforcing their bond and appreciation for life and the simple, comforting tastes of home.

This profound experience inspired them to found Dos Amigos Foods, a company rooted in the authenticity and warmth of their hometown's culinary traditions. Dos Amigos Foods is more than just a business—it encapsulates the journey of lifelong friends who rediscovered their beginnings and are now dedicated to sharing the comforting embrace of home-cooked flavors with the world.
