    So, so good!!! My husband loved it too. Nice change up from the usual dinners. The tomatillos sauce is just amazing. My only issue is I wish I knew a secret to keeping the chips from getting soggy.

    Chicken Chilaquiles, Chilaquiles is a Mexican dish originally created to use up leftovers It’s traditionally made with corn tortillas, chiles, cheese and meat that are either tossed together and sauted or layered like lasagna and baked This recipe is a little differnt from the ones posted as it is creamier You can use any type of leftover meat in this dish it is scrumptous! You can also leave out the meat and add spinach or portabella mushrooms for a vegetarian version From Grace Parisi of Food and Wine Feb 2003 , So, so good!!!
