Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 26

12 6-inch corn tortillas
2 tablespoons olive oil
Couple pinches kosher salt
1 28-ounce can whole or diced tomatoes (fire-roasted are tastiest)
1/2 medium yellow onion (diced (about 1/2 cup))
2 medium cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (seeds removed (unless you want them REALLY spicy then leave them))
2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from the can of chipotles)
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil (not extra virgin)
1/2 - 1 cup water or vegetable broth (if needed)
Black beans
Avocado
Corn
Sliced radishes
Sliced sweet or red onion
Cilantro
All the vegan toppings +
Shredded medium cheddar
Cojito cheese
Sour cream
Fried egg
All the vegan & vegetarian toppings +
Cubed cooked chicken or shredded chicken

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush tortillas on one side with olive oil, then stack them. Cut the stack into 6 or 8 wedges (your preference). Lay in a single layer on two large baking sheets and sprinkle with a little kosher salt. Bake until crisp, turning them over about 3/4 of the way through the cooking time, 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in the pitcher of a blender. Puree until smooth.
  • Set a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 tablespoon olive oil. When hot, pour in the sauce and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbling and darker, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the front and back of the spoon, about 10 minutes more. If the sauce seems too thick (it should be about the consistency of canned tomato sauce), add a splash of water or vegetable broth until it reaches the right consistency.
  • Stir in the tortillas. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Spoon onto plates and top with assorted toppings to customize them however you like!

These chilaquiles were delicious! The chipotle sauce was flavorful and smoky, and the cheese and sour cream added a nice touch of richness. I would definitely make these again.

These chilaquiles were really good! I loved the smoky flavor of the chipotle peppers. I also added some black beans and corn to the mix, which gave them a little extra protein and flavor.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chilaquiles turned out great! I used a medium chipotle pepper, which gave them a nice kick without being too spicy. I also added some black beans to the mix, which gave them a little extra protein.
