Remove from the heat, drain and add cold water. Set aside to cool down for 15 minutes. Then drain and pour into a blender filled with 2 cups water.

Yummy green chilaquiles. Changed a few items on the recepie due to not having the ingredients. Such as using serrano chile instead of jalapeños. However, the rest of the recepie followed it completely. Loved the chilaquiles will be making them again soon.
