Here are some tips for making the best Biria Chilaquiles:
- Use fresh corn tortillas. Tortillas that are stale or have been sitting out for a while will also not crisp up.
- Heat the oil over medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the tortilla pieces will burn before they can crisp up.
- Cook the tortilla pieces in batches. If you try to cook too many tortilla pieces at once, they will steam instead of crisp up.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet. If you crowd the skillet, the tortilla pieces need more room to cook evenly.
- Cook the tortilla pieces until they are golden brown and crispy. If the tortilla pieces are not crispy, they will not soak up the birria sauce as well.
