Great variation on the traditional chilaquiles. By the way chilaquiles are suppose to be soggy. Think of it as the Mexican version of stuffing. I usually make this all on the stove top using chiles de arbol instead of the chipotles. I crisp up the tortillas (and yes I make it to use up stale tortillas in my house) in the oil in the pan after putting all the sauce ingredients in the blender. Tomatoes onion garlic chiles de arbol and salt with a little bit if water. All raw. Blend and pour right into the pan as soon as tortillas are crisp. Stir around until cooked and sauce is absorbed. We serve with beans on the side and usually have the toppings at the table so each person adds as much or as little cheese and onions as the want. Queso fresco is the best on this dish. For non vegetarians you can serve this with shredded chicken on top before adding cheese. This dish should definitely not take two hours to make as one commenter said.

Based on others' comments, I made a few adjustments and ended up with a tasty dish. For the sauce I used two chipotles, removing the seeds. I ended up with a sauce with just a little kick. I sauteed the red onion so it would have a milder taste. I increased the beans and corn by 50% and changed the order of the layers a bit: sauce, then cheese, then corn/beans, sauteed onions, layer of tortilla strips - repeat, topping with sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. The tortilla strips weren't crispy, but they weren't soggy either - they had a pleasantly chewy texture. I think I'd make again, particularly for a potluck or larger family gathering.

I made a mistake and actually ended up putting the tortillas on top of the bean, corn and cheese mix, and topping them with the rest of the sauce...They stayed relatively crunchy for me, so that was not a problem. However, the sauce is too spicy for my taste...I actually couldn't finish my plate! I think I will seriously cut down on the chipotle if I make this recipe again!

For the time it took to make, I probably wouldn't make it again. Mine also needed more sauce.

My (meat eating) husband and I both loved this recipe. I would add a second can of black beans next time though. The serving sizes are pretty small especially if you're counting calories, and it could use a bit more protein.

This was a great dish. I made half using vegan ingredients and the other half using vegetarian and both sides were delicious. Amounts can also easily be adjusted for personal preference. There is a lot of red onion, so if you don't like so much onion, add less. And definitely add more corn tortillas.

This was okay, but it wasn't worth the 2 hours it took to make it. I like spicy food, but I thought the flavor of the chipotle in adobo overwhelmed the dish, along with the raw red onions. I would use less of both if I made this again.

i would use 7 tomatoes for this and 8 tortillas. absolutely delicious and easy to make!

This recipe was so good. It made so much, we had lunches for the next 2 days. I put an extra chile in and it was smoking hot, but excellent.

It came out well- only mine just fit in a 13 x 9 in. pan, not 1 1/2-qt dish! I would also recommend checking the chips a few minutes early as to not blacken them.

This was a delicious recipe! The only thing I would do differently is add a few more tortillas.

I liked this recipe, the taste, etc. but I hated how the tortillas were soggy in the dish. I loved the chipotle flavor in the tomato mixture. I would make differently next time by not adding the tortillas in the baked product and putting on top when done, or simply using as a side to eat with the meal.
