Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Anne's Chicken Chilaquiles Rojas Recipe). One of my favorite comfort foods from growing up in Tucson. It's great for a potluck or party and you'll get lots of compliments from your guests! This is a \"roja\" version but there is a \"verde\" style, too. Both are great and can be made hot or mild depending upon your heat tolerances or preferences. Serve with your favorite salsa, if desired.
