Chilaquiles are tortillas cut into strips, fried, and cooked in either a red or green sauce. Literally meaning "poor man's food", chilaquiles were undoubtedly invented as a way of using up leftover tortillas. They have evolved into a very versatile dish, with some rather sophisticated variations. The following version uses a red sauce; however a green sauce, such as the one given for Huevos al AlbaƱil, below, is also very good. This is by KAREN HURSH GRABER.

Steps:
- Cut the tortillas into strips or wedges. In a large saucepan or cazuela, heat the oil, add the tortilla strips, and fry until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Place the softened chiles, tomatoes, garlic and onion in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into the same saucepan used to fry the tortillas, bring to a boil, lower heat, and cook for about 15 minutes. Add salt to taste.
- Place the tortilla strips in the hot sauce, add the chicken broth and cook until most of the sauce has been absorbed.
- Distribute the shredded cheese and chicken over the chilaquiles. Garnish with onion rings and serve with crema.

[email protected]These chilaquiles were ok. The chicken was a little dry and the salsa was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
