JEN'S CHILAQUILES
This recipe is a gift to my husband. We took our first vacation ALONE without kids in over 10 years to the Riveria Maya in Mexico this November. We had an amazing time! Mexican food has always been our favorite but we were delighted to have an authentic Mexican breakfast for the first time. Every morning we had omelettes made to order with everything else you could imagine on the side. The new big thing for us was Chilaquiles...It was the best addition to our breakfast! So, the weekend after we came home, I went to work. Amazingly, I think I perfected it right away. I just took what I thought I tasted and went with it. Pair this with eggs 'your style' and whatever else your heart desires, and you will be glad to make it again and again. I also found out while in Mexico, apparantly this is THE BEST hangover fix known to man...just to let you know...Also, when I was looking for the perfect Mexican tomato sauce, I stumbled upon El Pato Brand Tomato Sauce (Mexican Hot Style) and it is perfect for this dish!!!! Please look for it when trying this for the first time. (It's a yellow can with a duck) If you can't find it, I'm sure your favorite salsa will work. This was originally created by using leftovers, so use what you have!
