I agree with other reviews about the great complimenting tastes of the two sauces; however, I would change a couple things about this dish. It felt like too much of a hodgepodge, and next time I would layer the filling between corn or flour tortillas, instead of using just a few baked tortilla chips. I also think the dish needed more of a tortilla to vegetable ratio, and more cheese!
Christmas Chilaquiles
This Mexican entrée was invented to use up leftovers, earning it the reputation of a working person's dish. This version gets its name by being served with both red and green chile sauces.
