Chilaquiles

by Laura

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.

This looks GREAT!! I can’t wait to give it a try. And I’m definitely topping mine with guacamole – avocados are one of my favorite ways to add a little flavor and even a little fiber to dishes.
