What if I told you there was a socially acceptable way to eat chips and salsa for breakfast?
With a few additions, and a fork, it’s actually a traditional dish in Mexico called Chilaquiles.
At Cafe a la C’Art, the tortilla chips are covered with a Hatch red chile sauce and topped with two eggs, avocado, cheddar, jack cheese, and calabacitas.
The contrast of crunchy chips with sauce-soaked chips combines addictively with the creamy ingredients and earthy vegetables.
If you get the opportunity, take advantage of their lovely patio.
Cafe a la C’Art is located at 150 N. Main Ave. For more information, visit cafealacarttucson.com.
