CHILAQUILES ROJOS (TRADITIONAL MEXICAN BREAKFAST DISH)



Chilaquiles Rojos (Traditional Mexican Breakfast Dish) image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 ripe Roma tomatoes, quartered
8 serrano chiles, left whole, stems removed
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 white onion, peeled and quartered
4 tablespoons oil
Salt
Chicken base, for seasoning
6 ounces tomato puree
8 ounces cooked and shredded chicken
3 ounces chopped fresh cilantro, plus cilantro sprigs for serving
6 ounces tortilla chips, strips or squares are best
6 ounces sour cream
1 onion, sliced into rings
12 ounces crumbled queso fresco cheese or panela cheese
Prepared guacamole, for serving
Prepared refried black beans, for serving
Prepared pico de gallo salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Grill the tomatoes, chiles, garlic and onions until they have a slightly blackened skin. Do not burn!
  • Bring 6 cups water to a boil with the blackened veggies until they are cooked through and soft inside.
  • Pour the veggies with the hot water and a little added cold water into a food processor and process. Don't blend too much, you want the mixture to be chunky.
  • In a large pot, heat up the oil until smoking. Then (carefully!) add a small amount of the sauce mixture and let it burn away for 1 minute (this is for a nice smoky flavor). Then slowly add the rest of the mixture and season with salt and some chicken base.
  • Add the tomato puree for color, and mix well. Add the shredded chicken and cook until it is heated through. Add the cilantro. Add the chips and serve immediately on 4 plates. Top each plate with some sour cream, sliced onions, queso fresco and a sprig of cilantro.
  • Serve with guacamole, refried black beans and pico de gallo on the side.

Categories     Breakfast     Bacon     Garlic     Chile     Bean     Salsa     Cheese     Egg     Cilantro     Lime     Winter     Christmas     New Year's Day     One-Pot Meal     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb. thick-cut bacon, cut into small pieces
6 garlic cloves, crushed, peeled
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
1 (14.5-oz.) can pinto beans, drained, rinsed
2 cups jarred or homemade salsa verde, plus more for serving
8 cups thick tortilla chips, plus more
Kosher salt
4 oz. Monterey Jack or pepper Jack, shredded (about 1 cup)
1/2 oz. Cotija or Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/4 cup)
8 large eggs
1/4 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
Hot sauce and lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook bacon in a large (12") cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to crisp, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and chile and continue to cook, stirring, until bacon is crisp and garlic is golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Add beans, stir to combine, then stir in 2 cups salsa verde. Taste by dipping a tortilla chip into mixture; season with salt if needed.
  • Transfer bean mixture to a large bowl (trying to add the chips to the skillet will make a mess, trust us). Gently stir in 8 cups chips with a rubber spatula until thoroughly coated without breaking chips. Return to hot skillet. Stick a handful of fresh chips vertically into mixture here and there-they will get extra crunchy as the chilaquiles bake. Sprinkle Monterey Jack and Cotija over. Make 8 evenly spaced indentations in filling and carefully crack an egg into each. Bake until egg whites are opaque and cheese is bubbly, 10-15 minutes.
  • Top chilaquiles with cilantro. Serve with hot sauce, lime wedges, and more salsa verde alongside.

BACON CHILAQUILES WITH EGGS

In Mexico and throughout the Southwest, chilaquiles with eggs are typically made for brunch using tortillas and any leftovers from the previous day's dinner. I love to bring this to family brunches as it gives the traditional eggs-and-bacon dish a unique twist. The empty pan proves that it's a family brunch favorite! —Naylet LaRochelle, Miami, Florida

6 large eggs
1/3 cup crumbled Cotija or feta cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine salsa and sour cream. Arrange half the tortilla chips in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Layer with half the salsa mixture, all of the spinach, half the shredded cheese and half the bacon.

Tips:

  • Use stale corn tortillas for the best texture. Fresh tortillas will be too soft and will break down in the casserole.
  • Cut the tortillas into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tortillas. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the tortillas so that they have plenty of room to spread out.
  • Cook the tortillas over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Don't stir the tortillas too often while they are cooking. This will prevent them from becoming crispy.
  • Once the tortillas are crispy, remove them from the pan and drain them on paper towels.
  • Layer the tortillas, sauce, cheese, and other ingredients in a casserole dish. Be sure to evenly distribute the ingredients so that each bite is flavorful.
  • Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Serve the casserole immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Chilaquiles breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or a weekday breakfast. It is a great way to use up leftover tortillas and it can be easily customized to your liking.
