Chili Keela

No, the spelling above is not a mistake.  I assume it to be Mom's version of chilaquiles.  For the real deal go to chilaquiles.  In addition to a decent recipe, they have links to two of Diana Kennedy's books, la reina gringa de la comida mexicana.  As always, DK's versions are long, complicated and delicious.  But if you like Frito Pie, and I do, this shouldn't offend you, unless of course you are actually in the mood for chilaquiles.

put large piece of butter in Iron Skillet add 1 small green pepper and onion cut up.  Fry until soft add 3 small fresh tomatoes and cook until soft.
add 1/2 (cup?) grated cheese let melt.  Just before ready to serve add to this the not quite whole big pkg of Fritos.
Eat at once.

Mom doesn't say this, but chilaquiles are usually eaten for brunch (almuerzo) and often with eggs and refried beans.
