EGG ENCHILADAS



Egg Enchiladas image

These are scrambled eggs with a Mexican twist that can be served any time of the day. They don't require baking time however; they are slipped under the broiler to melt the cheese. Sometimes I heat the tortillas briefly in the microwave before dipping in the sauce to keep them from cracking when rolling them up. Recipe is from Sunset Mexican Cook Book.

Chorizo, Egg and Cheese Enchiladas image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 white onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
Pinch crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
One 16-ounce can diced green chiles
3/4 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
48 potato tots (from a 1-pound bag)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces Mexican chorizo, casings removed
1/2 white onion, diced
12 large eggs, beaten
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
10 ounces mozzarella, grated
Garnish: sour cream, sliced jalapenos, sliced radishes, chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, chiles and stock and remove from the heat. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return it to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they'll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
  • Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
  • Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.

OPEN-FACE ENCHILADAS WITH EGGS



Open-Face Enchiladas with Eggs image

Mexican enchiladas meet Middle Eastern shakshuka in this brunch for a crowd. It's all about the layers: fried tortillas, jalapeno-spiked salsa, black beans, and poached eggs. Serve it family-style, topped with radishes, scallions, and cilantro.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes
1 medium white onion, cut into quarters
2 jalapenos
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, plus more chopped and whole leaves for serving
1/4 cup safflower oil
6 corn tortillas
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
6 large eggs, room temperature
3 radishes, thinly sliced
1 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat broiler with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, until blistered and slightly softened, 6 to 8 minutes. (If garlic is browning too quickly, remove it early.) Move oven rack to center and reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Discard garlic skins and jalapeno stems (for a mild salsa, remove seeds as well). In a food processor, pulse garlic and vegetables until coarsely pureed. Season with salt and pepper; pulse just to combine. Add cilantro; pulse to combine. Salsa can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • In a 12-inch oven-proof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Once hot, add 2 tortillas and fry, turning once, until they begin to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Fry remaining tortillas in two more batches. Reduce heat to medium; add 2 1/2 cups salsa to skillet. (It will splatter slightly.) Cook until bright red and slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add beans; cook 1 minute more. Transfer mixture to a heatproof bowl.
  • Line bottom of skillet with tortillas; top with salsa-bean mixture. Make 6 wells in mixture with the back of a spoon. Crack 1 egg into each well. Transfer to oven; cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle radishes, scallion, and cilantro over top; serve.
