Chilaquiles

We had chilaquiles for dinner last night, the first time we've ever tried cooking it. If you don't know it's a Mexican dish that used tortilla chips (homemade) and softens them with a green sauce (enchilada sauce). It was simple, a lot easier than I thought. We threw some leftover chicken in with it, and while it tasted good, I couldn't understand when we made tacos how come they tasted so... blah. So the chilaquiles good, the tacos not so good, even though we were using the same basic ingredients.

The chilaquiles do for the most part turn to slop in about 30 seconds, so you have to serve it quick. So now its just one less thing or reason to go out to eat. With all the other tragedy in the world today, that's not so bad. $8 for of chips softened in enchilada sauce? I don't think so Pedro. All I have to do now is get the wife to like chorizo and it'll be no more Mexican restaurants for us. Unless it's for a taco, because apparently we haven't figured that out yet.
