Chilaquiles with Black Beans, Avocado and Pickled Jalapenos
This recipe is evidence that Chilaquiles are best served with a dose of improvisation.

And even though the chipotle-infused beans are deserving of their lofty status, it’s actually the homemade Salsa that will keep you coming back to these Huevos Rancheros. How To Make Huevos Rancheros So if you’re not familiar with…
