TEN-MINUTE CHILAQUILES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Pour half the sauce into a shallow 2 1/2-quart (12 by 7 by 2-inch) baking dish, and top with half the corn chips. You can crumble the chips slightly to make an even layer. Drop little spoonfuls of half the sour cream all over the chips, then sprinkle on half the cheese. Top with the remaining chips, sauce, sour cream, and cheese.
- Bake 35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly around the edges. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the cilantro and serve. You can cut it into squares and serve using a spatula, or use a large spoon to scoop out the chilaquiles.
- For advance preparation: Make the sauce up to a few hours ahead and lay out all the other ingredients. Don't assemble chilaquiles, however, until the last minute so the corn chips retain a tiny bit of texture when baked.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Gather your ingredients.
- Preheat a stainless 3-quart pot over high heat and a large cast-iron skillet, 10 to 12 inches, over medium-low heat; this will be your serving platter.
- Remove the stems and seeds of your dried chilies and toast in the pot, 2 minutes. Remove, then add oil, onions and jalapeno pepper. Soften onions, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stack and cut the corn tortillas into 8 pieces, halved across, and then cut into 4 equal wide slices. Arrange on parchment lined baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake to deeply golden and fragrant, 10 minutes.
- To onions, add pimenton, oregano and garlic. Stir and add water. Let it absorb, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chilies back to pot with chicken or vegetable stock, tomatoes, honey and cocoa powder if using. Simmer 7 to 8 minutes to plump the peppers. Puree in high powered blender or food processor, and then transfer to large cast-iron skillet. Reserve any extra in an airtight container for enchiladas or more chilaquiles.
- Chop red onion, cilantro and thinly slice radishes with truffle shaver, sharp knife or mandoline. Crumble the cotija or queso fresco. Shred the Pepper Jack cheese.
- Add tortillas to sauce in cast-iron skillet and toss to coat. Top with cheeses and place back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Place 2 small nonstick skillets over medium heat (have some lids or foil on hand). Add a pat of butter to each pan, then crack an egg into each pan and cover. Cook until whites are solid and yolks still soft. Remove to a plate and repeat.
- Remove skillet from the oven and top with red onions, cilantro, radishes, pickled peppers and eggs.
- Serve the chilaquiles from the pan.

Steps:
- Turn on the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil. Arrange the chilies in a single layer on the pan. Place under the flame and roast, turning frequently, until the peppers are charred and blistered on all sides. Transfer to a brown paper bag, seal and let stand until cooled. Slide off the skins and remove the seeds. Dice the pulp.
- Lower the oven temperature to 200 degrees.
- Place the tomatillos in a heavy skillet large enough to hold them all in a single layer. Toast over medium heat, turning often, until they start to soften and turn brown. Cool, then remove the husks and chop the pulp. (For esthetic reasons, you may want to scrape off the black parts of both the chilies and the tomatillos, although they won't affect the taste.)
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over a medium-low flame. Add the onions and garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatillos, chilies, broth, cumin and oregano. Blend well and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat the corn oil in a small heavy skillet or saucepan until a thermometer registers 165 degrees. Cut the tortillas in half, then into strips about 1-inch across. Add the strips to the hot oil in batches and fry until crisp. Drain well on paper towels and hold in the oven.
- Break the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the Tabasco, salt and pepper and the 2 tablespoons of sour cream. Beat until completely blended. Melt the butter in a skillet and pour in the eggs. Cook, stirring, until the eggs are fluffy but set.
- To serve, lay a handful of tortilla strips on each of 4 serving plates. Top with a generous spoonful of chili sauce, then another layer of strips and another spoonful of sauce (you should have more sauce than tortillas). Arrange a portion of scrambled eggs either alongside or on top. Garnish with a little sour cream and a sprinkling of cilantro and serve at once, with refried beans if you like.
Tips for Making the Best Chilaquiles
- Use stale tortillas. Stale tortillas absorb the sauce better and hold their shape better than fresh tortillas.
- Cut the tortillas into even pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Fry the tortillas in a single layer. This will prevent them from sticking together.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the tortillas will not fry evenly.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is the star of the show in chilaquiles, so make sure it's flavorful.
- Add your favorite toppings. Chilaquiles are a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, sour cream, avocado, and salsa.
Conclusion
Chilaquiles are a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
