Blend on high speed until smooth.Empty salsa roja into a large oven-safe skillet (such as a cast-iron). Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until the mixture reduces and thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Assemble Chilaquiles: Add roasted cauliflower, black beans, and chips to the skillet, and gently toss to coat in sauce.
