...and not so healthy, but so delicious

Petit Chilaquiles

way back when..

in

like 1973

I fell

in

love

with

chilaquiles!

Denny's

in Guadalajara

- I forgot where exactly Denny's was

as

it was

many many

moons ago

maybe,

in

Plaza del Sol

(is that still around?)

Anyway...

my

memory

needed

to be fed

so

Petit Chilaquiles

was born

oozy

cheesy

chippy

slightly spicy

goodness

you start

with really

good

tortilla chips

(these are made in SLO)

this

recipe

or

"how to"

is

for a crowd

(12-15 depending on their appetites)

or a

very hungry

family

9"x13" pan

...

tear up

6-7

corn tortillas

and line the

bottom

of the pan

with

them

grab

a large can

(or 4 small cans)

of diced green chiles


and

drop

them in large

spoonfuls

on top of

the tortillas

a thin

layer

of

shredded

Monterey Jack

cheese

next

(you can use pepper Jack for more heat)

crunch up

handfulls

of Taco Works chips

and layer them on top of the jack cheese

more

spoonfuls

of chiles

another

layer of

Jack cheese

(or Mexican Cotija cheese would be more authentic)

and

top

it off

with

a few more handfuls of

crunched chips

Now,

grab 10 eggs

2 c. heavy cream

salt, pepper, cumin (to taste)

and whisk

them together

and pour the custard over the

top

cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate

until

the next day

Bake at 350 degrees

for 45-50 minutes

Serve with

sour cream

salsa

guacamole

cilantro

-

whatever

you like!

It is

hands down

the favorite

breakfast

of the

Petit Soleil employees

except

Meagan

..... I think Meagan likes the Greek Strata the best

Bon APpeTit!

or

!Buen provecho)

a healthy treat for you!

it

is

always

fun

to put together a

recipe

that

will

satisfy

that

NAUGHTY

and

sometimes annoting

sweet

tooth

and

not

put on

10 lbs.

I suppose it could put 10 lbs if you ate the whole thing

these

bad boys

are

gluten free

sugar free

all natural

(sounds pretty yucky, but these bars are really delish!)

Granola Bars

oats (gluten free, if you cannot eat any gluten)

unsweetened coconut


pecans


ground flax seed


Medjoul dates


process in food processor


nut butter (your fave - not Jif or Skippy) I used almond butter


mix with real maple syrup


bake

eat!

The actual recipe

for

Granola Bars

2. c oats

1/2 c. unsweetened coconut

1.c pecans (or walnuts)

1/4 c. ground flax seed

1/2 tsp salt

Process in food processor

using 6-7 pulses

Drop above in

mixer

or in a large bowl

(I used my mixer and the paddle)

Combine the nut butter and the syrup.

Pour over the oat/nut mixture

and mix until combined.

Turn into

a 9"x13" pan

and pat down.

bake at 350 degrees

for 30 minutes

p.s.

I certainly don't

think

dark chocolate chips

would ruin the recipe......
