A quick and easy version of the dish your abuelita used to make to use up all those leftovers. Warning: this has got a nice, smoky heat from the chipotle peppers.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add can of salsa and two chipotle peppers to a blender. Blend until mixed and just a bit chunky.
- 2
Thinly slice the green pepper and half the onion. In a deep skillet, use medium/high heat to sauté the peppers and onions (reserving a small amount for topping) in oil until slightly browned. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- 3
Add the tomato mixture and cook down (stirring frequently) until it reaches a tomato paste consistency.
- 4
Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (this is about 3/4 of the can). Simmer until it thickens and reaches the consistency of the original blended tomato mixture.
- 5
Add the chips to skillet and fold them in gently. Mix them in the sauce until all the chips are evenly coated and soft.
- 6
Plate the chilaquiles topped with some of the reserved onion (thinly sliced) a sprinkle of cilantro and queso fresco. I also paired this dish with a Rioja wine.
- 7
Best if eaten immediately, although the sauce can be saved and refrigerated.

I first tried this at a restaurant that recently closed due to hard times, so I thought I'd try my best to make it myself! I used a medium sized skillet and portioned these out over 3 large meals, each for 2 large mammals. (Feel free to adjust ingredients based on taste buds and size of cookware!)
