Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican dish made from fried tortillas that simmer in a tomato sauce. We made them lighter by baking, not frying, the tortillas. It's a great, fun breakfast-for-dinner option on a busy weeknight! Queso fresco ("fresh cheese") is typically used to top chilaquiles. The cheese has a mild, milky fresh flavour. It can be difficult to find sometimes though so crumbled feta can be used in its place.
