Overview

Matzoquiles are often a homemade dish served during Passover.^[4] Some restaurants serve matzoquiles such as Wise Sons in San Francisco, which serves their version with a tomatillo-pasilla chile salsa Verde.^[1]

Preparation

Typically, sheets of matzo are broken into large pieces and lightly fried. Sometime pieces of matzo are broken and soaked in beaten eggs, which are then scrambled together similar to a matzah brei. Red^[6][5] or green salsa is poured over the crisp matzo pieces. The mixture is simmered until the matzo pieces begin to soften. Matzoquiles are commonly garnished with sour cream, cheese, sliced onion, avocado, and radish slices. Matzoquiles are often served with guacamole, or refried beans, and topped with eggs scrambled or fried.^[1][2][3][4]
