It made us feel like we were eating home cooked chilaquiles!!
Fantastic flavors and easy rehydration! I would definitely have this again. It was the perfect meal before I started my day of outdoor exploring!
The chilaquiles are very flavorful with a little heat and include full-sized tortilla chips, which are a great touch. The meal rehydrates super fast (especially at sea level), so I was already wolfing down breakfast while a friend peeked at least 2 more times into his dehydrated breakfast to see if it was ready. I am super excited about this brand and can't wait to see what else Itacate comes up with in the future!
Probe los chilaquiles y las lentejas y ambos estuvieron delicioso! Los comparti con un amigo y lo primero que dijo fue "como la abuela". Definitivamente voy a ordenar mas. El arroz con leche si no me gusto. No soy muy fan de la leche de coco. Para mi gusto personal estaria mejor con otro tipo de leche. Hagan mas sabores por favor!
Its genuinely one of the best meal options out there, we take it on every trip for any meal! amazing flavor and even texture despite being a bit suspicious at first!
One of my all time favorite backpacking meals. Honestly felt like something I’d eat at home.
Seemed tasty at first but the Tomatillo kind of sour taste overpowered the rest of the flavors to the point that I thought I might get sick. Also, too expensive for what you get. Now I have another of the same meal that I cannot eat and I cannot return.
I love this for breakfast when backpacking!! I bring a tortilla to wrap it up (helps with any mess).
My new favorite breakfast option. Gonna try with a little Salsa Queen next time to shake things up!
This is the only backpacking breakfast I’ll eat! They are so good, the chips stay perfectly crunchy, and it’s the exact right size to start your day in the backcountry!
These chilaquiles have such rich and authentic flavor, and they provide warmth and nourishment in an easy, fast form! I LOVE the recipe and am so grateful that Itacate has created such a comforting and energizing meal for my backpacking trips (and for camping, at home, and anytime I was chilaquiles)!
Nada como comer comida con buen sabor! Estan deliciosos.
This is the best backpacking breakfast I have found, bar none.
OMG! Talk about how chilaquiles verdes taste like. Everything about this meal was perfect can really taste the tomatillo the seasoning was on point! Love this, LOVE IT!
I liked its texture and flavor. I recommend it.
Delicious!!!
Great flavor, but I wish they would package the tortilla separately. Soaking them in water for 5 minutes leaves them too mushy. I will separate the bigger pieces of tortilla next time and see if that helps improve texture. Overall I would buy again.
A breakfast sent from God. You know how when your cold butt gets out of the tent in the morning and you start boiling water for your kinda gross freeze dreid eggs and you aren't that excited about it? You can stop doing that now, if you eat this meal in the morning your taste buds will explode and you will be filled with delight as I was. What a great tasting meal. I wish it wasn't sold out so I could buy a dozen more.
Great Flavor & filling
Delicious! Such wonderful flavor, packed with protein and very filling. I could eat way more of this just because its so good! Have definitely have eaten this for all meals through out the day. Its a very versatile meal! I will continue to purchase this and take it with me not just backpacking but to work and while traveling!
A bit spicy and tasty something different for breakfast. I really enjoyed
DELICIOUS!! Perfect amount of spicy. Authentic, and filling. 10/10
The most flavorful, and filling backpacking food in the industry. Can't not get enough of this product. Definitivamente hecho con mucho amor!
This meal is so much more than beans and tortilla chips! The flavor truly transports me to Mexico, because of the unique ingredients added. This meal was made with intention and care, and it is SUCH a treat in the backcountry!
Daughter loved these she said not too spicy so if someone wanted more spice they could just add bit more. She gave it a thumbs up and would eat it again.
This was delicious and so quick. What a tasty meal. I definitely wasn’t expecting this to be as good as it is! It tastes like a home cooked meal.
Me gustaron mucho los chilaquiles
Delicious work!! The right amount of spice!
Deliciosos! Autenticos! Me encantan
Great flavor and texture-serving portion could be a touch larger, but would go perfectly with a tortilla or some other addition.
These chilaquiles have amazing flavor and prep quickly. This is one of my favorite backcountry meals to date.
As this was rehydrating, I couldn't help but notice my mouth was watering - it smells SO GOOD. A perfect way to start the day. So delicious, and fresh. Definitely felt "charged up!"
Who this is for
This is for the backpacker who’s eaten the same three trail meals for years and wants something worth stopping for. It’s for anyone who grew up on chilaquiles verdes and is tired of packing tortillas from home because nothing on the shelf tastes like theirs. It’s for the friend who plans the trip and wants camp to feel like a real meal. Eat it at sunrise or after a long climb. It’s medium spice and vegetarian, with full-sized tortilla chips, tomatillo salsa, beans, and panela. If you want something beige and bland, this isn’t it.
How it compares
Most trail meals are built to be eaten fast and forgotten. This one is built around a dish people actually crave, and it’s ready in about five minutes, while many trail meals take 10 to 15 minutes or more. That means less time standing in the cold and less fuel burned. Next to the big-name freeze-dried pouches, the difference is the recipe: tomatillo salsa, beans, panela, and real tortilla chips, with just a touch of egg, so it tastes like chilaquiles and not a scramble. Next to oatmeal or a bar, it’s a hot, savory meal with 17 grams of protein, at any hour. Next to the “Southwest” bowls on the shelf, it’s a specific dish with real heat. The tradeoff is price: $13.95 for a single serving. You’re paying for food that tastes like someone’s kitchen.
Questions, Answered
How Long Does It Take to Rehydrate?
Five minutes! Add 1 cup of hot water, zip the bag, and wait. That's faster than most other backpacking meals, which can take 10-15mins+. At high elevation, water boils at a lower temperature, so give it extra time, as the package directs.
How Do You Prepare It?
Pour 1 cup of hot water into the bag, stir, zip it closed, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir again and eat straight from the bag. If you're at high elevation, add time.
Is It Spicy?
It's medium. Most people find it flavorful with a little heat, and some find it mild.
Is It Vegetarian? Vegan?
It's vegetarian. It contains egg and panela cheese, so it is not vegan.
Does It Taste Like Eggs?
No. Egg is a small part of the recipe, and the flavor comes from the tomatillo salsa, beans, and cheese. If you've been put off by eggy freeze-dried meals, this one doesn't taste like them.
Is It Just a Breakfast Meal?
No. Chilaquiles are traditionally a breakfast dish, but this works as lunch or dinner, and plenty of folks eat it at any meal. At 490 calories, it's a satisfying main.
Is It Sour?
Tomatillo gives it a bright, tangy flavor, which is part of what makes green chilaquiles taste the way they do. If you prefer milder flavorsyou may want to try our Campsite Lentejas.
Do I Need a Long Spork?
No. The bag is about 5 inches tall once opened, so a regular spork reaches the bottom, and the zip closure keeps it easy to handle.
