The first time I had Chilaquiles was in Oaxaca in 1972. I just got back from a surfing trip to a little known surfing town called Puerto Escondido. My bus dropped me off at the downtown plaza and there was a cute restaurant on the plaza. The waiter gave me a menu and I asked what your breakfast special was and he said Chilaquiles. Well to make a long story short I love them. Since then I have made them hundreds of times. This version is the fast and easy version. You do not have to make them from scratch.
