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.

CHILAQUILES

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil, for frying
Three 5-inch corn tortillas, cut into quarters
One 15-ounce can green enchilada sauce
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons of your favorite salsa

Steps:

  • Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat in a cast-iron skillet until it registers 350 degrees F on a candy/frying thermometer. (If you don't have a thermometer, carefully dip the corner of a tortilla wedge into the oil. If it sizzles, you are ready to fry.)
  • Carefully drop the tortilla quarters into the hot oil and fry, turning them halfway through with tongs or a spider, until crisp but not yet browned, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the tortilla quarters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.
  • Heat the enchilada sauce in a small pan over medium-high heat until hot. While it is heating, fry the eggs. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the edges are nice and crispy, a minute or two. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While the eggs are frying, assembled your chilaquiles. In a shallow 1-quart dish, arrange half of the fried tortillas in a layer. Sprinkle them with half of the cheese. Pour enough of the hot enchilada sauce over the tortillas and cheese to cover most of the chips. Add the remaining chips to the dish in an even layer. Top with the remaining cheese and more sauce. The amount you add here is up to you. You may end up with some leftover enchilada sauce depending on your preference.
  • Top with the fried eggs and salsa of your choice. Enjoy while it's nice and hot.

  • Toast the tortillas before frying: This will give them a nice crispy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the tortillas in batches so that they have room to crisp up.
  • Use a flavorful salsa: The salsa is the key to great chilaquiles. Choose a salsa that is flavorful and has a good balance of heat and acidity.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Chilaquiles are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and eggs.
