For breakfast I wanted Chilaquiles. I still haven't made enchilada
sauce so I used my good ol' standby. I was too lazy to fry up some old
tortillas so I used pre-made tostada shells. These I usually have on
hand also. They are great for ceviche tostadas.
I got together the enchilada sauce, tortillas, onion and cheese.

Poured a little of the sauce into the baking pan. Just enough to coat
the bottom of the pan.

Add broken up tortillas,

and layer in some cheese and onion.

Repeat. Top layer should be sauce and cheese and onion.

Place in a 350* oven until hot and bubbly.

While the chilaquiles were baking I fried some bacon and scrambled up
some eggs.

This made a great breakfast with some sliced heirloom tomatoes.

koko,

I've never heard of such a dish. Not that THAT would stop me from devouring
it in the blink of an eye. :9

Good grief, Koko. If you had that for breakfast, it means you did all that
work BEFORE breakfast! We're talkin' morning person, are we?

Wonderful! I love "chikalillies"... a great fringe benefit of marrying
someone from the South, She is a morning person (like you must be) so I get
some pretty neat breakfasts from time to time.

BTW, Koko... I really enjoy your website. Nice job.

Gods that's pretty!
I see you are getting a nice tomato crop. :-) I did not plant again
this year due to the cost of water... I want to try container gardening
but did not get around to it this year.

My mother would use leftovers to make chilaquiles. When it came out of
the oven, she would top it with fried or scrambled eggs and a little
salsa or enchilada sauce. It is home cooking, but you can find it in
some Mexican restaurants. Not like Mom used to make, though.

Its pretty common breakfast fare. If you want to try a good version you
can at the Mexican restaurant that is on Washington Ave a block over
from the Italian market. Item #10.

The mom & pop Oaxacan taqueria near me makes a great version too.

Take a look at the price difference of Mexican food in Philadelphia and
in Texas. I am sure the sane could also be said for California and
other states. Compare the price of a basic breakfast of eggs and their
chilaquiles (Desayuno Arandas).

tomorrow.

Thanks Om.
Those are the heirlooms I bought at the Farmer's Market. I only bought
3 and he kept giving me more for free. I'll be container gardening
also, because of the raccoons and rabbits.

Philly ethnic food often tends to be spendier than even NYC for some
reason. The Philly place I mentioned is definitely a quality place
though. The taqueria near me has similar prices to the one on the link
you gave. It is a neighborhood place and no web site.
