Chickpea & Poblano Chilaquiles

My second version  of chilaquiles might be even better than my first. The chili verde sauce is easy and quick to make and can roast while you prepare the toppings. Chilaquiles aren't eaten just for dinner, but typically for breakfast, a perfect way to use up stale chips from the night before.

Fresh tortillas tossed with green sauce and topped with chickpeas, grilled poblanos, corn, yukon potatoes and lime.
