8 oz sour cream
8 oz shredded mild cheddar cheese (I also like the Kraft Mexican shredded
cheese blend on this dish).
1 bag of tortilla chips (I use Galindo chips, they're not too thick or too
thin) or 16 to 20 tortillas cut in quarters slightly fried in oil.
Directions:
Preheat oven to
350°. Spread the tortilla chips on glass
or oven proof baking dish, pour the salsa evenly on top of the chips. Pour the
sour cream, making sure it spreads out evenly as well. Pour the cheese on
top. Place it in the oven for 25 minutes. Take it out and
enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chilaquiles are a
traditional Mexican dish consisting of fried tortilla chips, bathed in green
or red salsa or mole. and broiled or grilled with a cheese topping.
Sometimes chicken strips are mixed into the sauce, or the dish can be served
with a fried egg on top or a strip of meat alongside. They are most commonly
eaten at breakfast time. Unlike nachos which are served as a crispy snack,
chilaquiles are a main dish and are not served until the tortilla chips are
thoroughly soaked and softened by the salsa. This makes them a popular
recipe for stale chips or those with a bad taste as the other flavors mask
the chips.
