This hearty, Mexican-inspired bake layers roasted chicken, refried beans, fried corn tortillas, and a cheddar-chihuahua cheese blend, all smothered in a creamy ranchera sauce made with tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic, and Mexican crema. Finished with chopped cilantro and served with zesty pico de gallo and cool sour cream on the side, it’s a playful twist on traditional chilaquiles.
