A dear neighbor shared this recipe. She used to make it from scratch, but my version takes a few shortcuts. —Marina Castle Kelley, Canyon Country, California

Ingredients

1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2 pound fresh chorizo or bulk spicy pork sausage
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with mild green chiles, undrained
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
4 cups tortilla chips (about 6 ounces)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Chopped fresh cilantro
Optional toppings: Sour cream, diced avocado and sliced red onion

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook beef and chorizo with onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, crumble meat; drain. Stir in both cans of tomatoes; bring to a boil. In a greased 1-1/2-qt. or 8-in.-square baking dish, layer 2 cups chips, half of the meat mixture and 1/2 cup cheese; repeat layers.
Bake, uncovered, until cheese is melted, 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro. If desired, serve with toppings.

Health Tip: Chilaquiles are indulgent any way you fix them, but they can be lightened up: Use chorizo chicken sausage and baked chips to lop off 15g fat.
