Chilaquiles

This is the Mexican version of Bread and Butter Pudding. "What?" You may say. Well, as my grandmother used to make Bread and Butter Pudding to use up the old bread, Mexicans make Chilaquiles to use up the old tortillas.

What do you need?
tortillas, sauce, Oaxaca cheese, oil, onion (for garnish)

What do you do?
1. Rip up the old tortillas into bits. You can leave them to go hard overnight or use them immediately.
2. Fry them briefly.
3. Heat the sauce. (It can be red or green - whatever you like best.)
4. Add the tortilla bits to the sauce.
5. Cook until the tortilla bits are starting to go soft.
6. Some people also add chicken to the sauce.
7. Melt cheese on the top.
8. Serve with a couple of onion rings as garnish. (Some people eat Chilaquiles with fried eggs.)
