Purslane chilaquiles

June 28, 2012 Erica M. Davis 2 Comments

Chilaquiles are a favorite way to use leftover tortilla chips in my house, and the wild vegetable purslane (Portulaca oleracea), or "verdolagas" in Spanish, have long been used in Mexican cuisine to accent them. If you don’t know purslane already, you should. This garden weed … [Read more...]
