Are you a chilaquiles fanatic? Mmmmmm, I am. I think this delicious Mexican recipe could be eaten at any time of the day, even though most people enjoy it as a breakfast meal. Fried pieces of crisp corn tortilla stewed in a simmering red chile that softens the tortilla and then smothered in cheese. It holds all the flavors of an enchilada but is more bite-size.
