Mexican Chilaquiles Casserole {Vegetarian}

Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican dish. Corn tortillas are cut into quarters and lightly fried and covered with salsa or mole. This Chilaquiles casserole recipe is an easy variation of them.

This is Mom’s Chilaquiles Casserole recipe. 

It’s a recipe that she’s been making since the 60’s or 70’s. It comes from Lawry’s California Kitchen. This is a vegetarian version, but you could easily add shredded chicken or cooked beef for a heartier entree.

I hope you enjoy this Chilaquiles casserole recipe.
