Breakfast Nachos (Chilequiles)


In Mexico, the Westin buffet offers green and red chilequiles, a brilliant excuse to drown a casserole of eggs, chips and meat in salsa. Breakfast nachos!


Inspired this morning, and aware that our refrigerator was nearly bare, I sauteed bite-sized strips of bacon, maple breakfast sausage and a finely chopped onion with more than a pinch of pepper. In a casserole dish, I layered tortilla chips to cover the bottom, then poured half the meat and onions over them followed by enchilada sauce. Another layer of chips, another meat, another generous pour of enchilada sauce, and this time topped with cheddar cheese. Baked in a 350ยบ for 20 minutes, the chips get soggy with sauce and form an interesting casserole you're welcome to shamelessly cover with all the salsa you can eat!
