Chilaquiles

Today, I have a Mexican dish for you called Chilaquiles.  You usually serve this for breakfast or brunch, but I happen to serve it up for dinner.  It is a great recipe to use up corn tortillas and salsa.  Think of this dish as a Mexican quiche.  This recipe originates from The Inns at El Rancho Merlita in Tuscon, AZ and is one of their most popular dishes.
