CHILAQUILES CASSEROLE
Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.

EASY VEGETARIAN CHILAQUILES (ENCHILADA CASSEROLE)
More nutritious and less fatty than cheese chilaquiles, I created this when cooking for groups of 30 people, and now make it for my son and me. I found that when I went to the trouble of rolling up enchiladas, people would wreck them when serving themselves, or only want half of one. This casserole is easier to prepare and serve!

VEGETARIAN CHILAQUILES
Here's a classic one-dish Mexican breakfast originally conceived as a way to use up leftover tortillas. It doesn't usually include beans, but this version was invented one hungry morning when a perusal of the refrigerator turned up two eggs, some leftover Rancho Gordo beans and salsa and a few odds and ends of avocado, cilantro and queso fresco. Don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients. As long as you have the beans, salsa, tortillas and eggs, the dish will satisfy. You'll have breakfast on the table in the time it takes to brew the coffee. From: kitchen.apartmenttherapy.com

- Pour the eggs into the empty side of the pan, and cook, stirring, until they are about halfway set.
- Stir the eggs into the tortilla salsa mixture and cook until the eggs are just set.
- To serve: Divide the chilequiles among two plates and top with your garnishes of choice.
