Tecolota Mexicana
Toasted sourdough bread topped with refried beans, salsa verde chilaquiles, fresh chorizo, cream, radishes and arugula. A Mexican breakfast classic with a Cutzamala twist.
Dish story
The tecolota is a Mexico City street food specialty closely associated with tortas de chilaquiles. Particularly popular for breakfast, it combines bread, refried beans and chilaquiles coated in red or green salsa, often accompanied by cream, cheese and other toppings. It is a perfect example of Mexican street food ingenuity, bringing together two everyday classics in one hearty, flavorful dish.
Cutzamala version
At Cutzamala, we transform the traditional chilaquiles torta into an open-faced sourdough toast. We spread it with refried beans and add chilaquiles coated in our green salsa, topped with fresh chorizo, cream, radishes and arugula. The crunchy bread, creamy beans, rich chorizo and fresh vegetables create a combination of flavors and textures that preserves the spirit of the Mexican tecolota.
Main ingredients
Chilaquiles are one of the most iconic dishes of the Mexican breakfast tradition. Made from cut and fried corn tortillas coated in red or green salsa, they combine crispy and tender textures with the vibrant flavors of Mexican chilies. In our Tecolota, salsa verde chilaquiles are the heart of the dish and its direct connection to Mexico City's culinary heritage.
