Look for different Chilaquiles
recipes throughout Mexico. The name comes from Nahuatl and means "in a salsa of chiles." The defining ingredient is refried stale or
left-over tortillas. (We have seen Rick Bayless
use tortilla chips in one recipe on his cooking show.) Mexican
families can stretch meals by making Chilaquiles. We used green enchilada
sauce (aka salsa verde) but other renditions call for red enchilada sauce (aka
salsa roja) or even mole sauce. We've seen
recipes using chicken or beef so it appears there is no "strict"
version. Likewise, select recipes call for cooks to piece together
the elements while plating. This technique preserves
the crispy-fried texture of the tortillas. Other recipes simply call for
combining all the ingredients in the pan so that it’s served in a heaping mix
of sauce-drenched tortillas.
