As most of you know, chilaquiles are my absolute favorite Mexican dish. If they are prepared properly that is.
This recipe, from my Yahoo food group, fails miserably and has no right to call itself chilaquiles. It's not that it would taste bad, but a more accurate title would be "Tex Mex" casserole or something along those lines.
First off, I would never add zucchini to a Mexican style dish and I think pinto beans would taste better than black.
And this would taste MUCH better if the tortillas were crisped first, either by frying or baking.
I do like the idea of using a prepared enchilada sauce. These are great time savers, and most of the brands available taste pretty good.

Didn't know about your love affair with chilaquiles! Actually had to google to find out what there're all about. Here's what I found ...
"Usually, chilaquiles are eaten at breakfast time. This makes them a popular recipe to use leftover tortillas and salsas.
Moreover, chilaquiles are often lauded as a cure for la cruda--the common hangover; this is because in Mexico it is believed that spicy foods help in the recovery process from a hangover. However, this remedy is subject to debate since a stomach after a night of drinking usually gets very irritated. Adding spicy chilaquiles might only worsen the stomach irritation."
LOL - Interesting little tidbit!!!
LOL Marianne! Maybe that's why I don't have a hangover that often. Most likely, I will have eaten something spicy prior to any drinking!
You know the routine, Sue. Let me know what you think..
Thanks, Viv!
Exactly, Sue.
My favorite is chicken. Saute onion, chicken and the masala in some oil. Stir in tomatoes and simmer for a bit. Serve over white rice. Easy Indian style chicken!
