Chilaquiles

Official wikipedia description:    Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican dish. Typically, corn tortillas cut in quarters and lightly fried are the basis of the dish. Green or red salsa or mole, is poured over the crispy tortilla triangles.  The mixture is simmered until the tortilla starts softening. Eggs (scrambled or fried) and pulled chicken are sometimes added to the mix. The dish is topped with cheese (typically queso fresco) and/or sour cream (crema), and it is served with refried beans. Like many dishes, regional and familiar variation are quite common.


This dish is typically served for breakfast at my house.  And it's my brother Hectors all time favorite dish.  Maybe even more than carne con chile.... and we all know he can eat chile con carne and then carne con chile all day long.   I remember when mom made it for us, she'd set some aside with out the salsa for my younger sisters.  Why? Well you see they are "gringas" born in the USA and are not fans of spicy food.  Or so my mom says.  haa ahhaaa

After the epic failure of my flour tortilla's.  I felt the need to redeem myself and made this great looking dish.
