Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup salsa (preferably medium hot)
2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
1 (14-ounce) can pinto or kidney beans, rinsed well in a strainer
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (11-ounce) bag corn chips (about 8 cups)
1 cup sour cream
2 cups grated Monterey Jack
2 tablespoons minced cilantro, optional

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.

  • Cook's Note: Some packaged corn chips are very salty. Look on the back of the bag for the sodium content and choose a brand that has no more than 110 milligrams of sodium per serving. These will be the most flavorful corn chips and won't be overly salty to eat or use in the casserole.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use stale tortillas: Stale tortillas hold their shape better and absorb the sauce more evenly.
  • Cut the tortillas into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful salsa: The salsa is the key to great chilaquiles, so make sure to use one that you love.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chilaquiles will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the chilaquiles until they are crispy: This will give them a delicious texture.
  • Top the chilaquiles with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Microwave chilaquiles are a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic Mexican dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal in minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner, give microwave chilaquiles a try.
