Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ pound chorizo
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
½ (10 ounce) bag tortilla chips
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 (19 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
½ cup sour cream
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat, stirring to break it into tiny pieces. Place the raw chicken into the skillet with the chorizo; cook and stir the meats together until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
  • Spread half of the tortilla chips over the bottom of a casserole dish; top the chips with the cooked chorizo and chicken mixture. Sprinkle the corn evenly over the meats and layer the remaining chips over the top. Whisk together the green enchilada sauce and sour cream in a mixing bowl; pour over the top of the casserole. Top the casserole with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake the chilaquiles in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbly and the chips begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

CHILAQUILES WITH CHICKEN



Chilaquiles with Chicken image

This casserole comes from the "Los Barrios Family Cookbook" and although it is tasty with just plain chicken, it is elevated to sublime using Canary Girl's Chicken Verde. Just make sure you drain any excess liquid off the chicken. Assemble the dish right before baking -- if you do it in advance, the sauce may make the tortilla strips soggy. You can buy green tomatillo sauce in cans, but I have also posted Los Barrios recipe.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Red chile sauce:
7 dried guajillo or New Mexico chiles
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, drained
1 medium white onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeño, with seeds, chopped
1/8 teaspoon smoked or Hungarian sweet paprika
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Assembly:
Vegetable oil (for frying)
9 6" corn tortillas, quartered, or 36 large tortilla chips
Kosher salt
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled queso fresco or mild feta
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack
4 large eggs
Finely chopped white onion
Thinly sliced radishes
Chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges
Ingredient info: Guajillo and New Mexico chiles are sold at some supermarkets and at Latin markets. Smoked paprika is available at most supermarkets.
Special Equipment
A deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • For red chile sauce:
  • Place chiles in a medium bowl; cover with 2 cups boiling water. Let chiles soak until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Discard stems and seeds; place chiles in a blender. Add tomatoes, next 4 ingredients, and 1 cup reserved soaking liquid; purée until smooth.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add purée (it will splatter) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, partially covered and stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes (add more reserved soaking liquid if too thick). Stir in honey and season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before using.
  • For assembly:
  • Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1 1/2". Prop deep-fry thermometer in skillet with bulb submerged. Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches, fry tortillas, occasionally turning with tongs, until crisp, 2-3 minutes. Transfer chips to prepared sheet and season with salt.
  • Preheat broiler. Toss chips and 1 cup sauce in a large bowl. Transfer half of chips to a large ovenproof platter or skillet. Scatter half of cheeses over chips. Top with remaining chips and cheeses, along with 1/2 cup more sauce. Broil until cheese is golden and melted, 4-5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour oil into a nonstick skillet to lightly coat. Heat over medium heat. Add eggs and fry until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
  • Top chilaquiles with chopped onion, radishes, cilantro, and lime wedges. Top with fried eggs and serve with remaining sauce alongside.

Tips:

  • Prep in Advance: Save time by prepping ingredients like salsa, Guacamole, and pico de Gallo beforehand.
  • Tortilla Selection: Use stale tortillas for a better texture. Cut them into even strips for uniform cooking.
  • Spice It Up: Adjust the spice level of the salsa to your preference. Sriracha or cayenne pepper can add an extra kick.
  • Cheese Options: Try different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Oaxaca, or Queso Fresco for a unique flavor profile.
  • Crispy or Soft Tortillas: For crispy tortillas, fry them in oil. For softer ones, warm them in a skillet or microwave.
  • Egg Cooking: Fry eggs over easy, sunny side up, or scramble them to your desired doneness.
  • Garnish Generously: Top your Chilaquiles with fresh toppings like cilantro, onions, and avocado for a vibrant finish.

Conclusion:

Chicken Chilaquiles with Fried Eggs is a versatile and customizable brunch or breakfast dish that combines the flavors of Mexican cuisine with the comfort of a classic American breakfast.
