Melly's Chilaquiles Rojos image

Traditionally, this is a peasant breakfast food made with last night's dinner. Stale chips, leftover chicken, etc. You're going to love this once you try it! Love at first bite. Mi Abuelita is from Mexico City and Mi Abuelita Grande opened a restaurant here in San Diego in the 40's and she made Mexican food taste authentic...
