Chilaquiles

A traditional Mexican dish consisting of fried tortilla chips, bathed in green or red salsa, sometimes mixed with chicken strips, and broiled or grilled with a cheese topping.

Unlike nachos[?] which are served as a crispy snack, chilaquiles —an entree— are served until the tortilla chips are thoroughly soaked and softened by the salsa.
