Chicken Chilaquiles. Chee-lah-KEE-less. Chicken-ala-cheese-ness.
There are about a bazillion corn tortillas in a package. Have you noticed that? No matter what recipe I make with them, inevitably I will have half a bazillion leftover.

While these aren’t near authentic Huevos Rancheros, they are a nice twist on those wonderful Mexican Ranch Eggs.

It’s funny how one abundant ingredient can spark all kinds of recipe inspiration. For us, it’s what seems to be a never ending bag of Corn Tortillas taking up space in our fridge drawer. Thumbing through my cookbook rack yesterday, I came across my Weight Watchers cookbook and well, let’s just say we may need to visit a couple of these recipes heading into the holidays ;) Tonight we’ll start by adapting a WW Shrimp Tostadas recipe.
