Chicken Chilaquiles
"Chilaquiles is a Mexican dish originally created to use up leftovers. It's traditionally made with corn tortillas, chiles, cheese and meat that are either tossed together and sautéed or layered like lasagna and baked. This recipe is a little differnt from the ones posted as it is creamier. You can use any type of leftover meat in this dish....it is scrumptous! You can also leave out the meat and add spinach or portabella mushrooms for a vegetarian version. From Grace Parisi of Food and Wine. Feb 2003...."
