Chilaquiles Taco Recipes

EASY CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tortilla pieces to oil and fry until crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Pour beaten eggs over the tortilla pieces in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs have set, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Top with taco sauce and Monterey Jack cheese.

CHILAQUILES ROJOS (TRADITIONAL MEXICAN BREAKFAST DISH)

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.

• Drizzle with remaining sauce mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Cover with foil; bake 30 minutes.
• Remove foil; make 6 wells in chip mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until egg yolks are set and whites are firm. Top with green onion greens, avocado and queso fresco cheese. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.

CHILAQUILES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large, heavy-bottom pot, heat oil to 360 F. Carefully lower tortilla wedges into the oil, making sure none overlap. You may need to do this step in batches.
• Fry tortilla wedges, turning over half-way through, until golden-brown and crisp. This should take 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and allow to drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Salt to taste while the chips are still hot. Set aside.
• In large skillet over medium-high heat, add tomatillos, water, onion, garlic, habanero chile, and cumin. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-low and simmer until tomatillos break down, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Add the ingredients from the skillet to a blender with the cilantro. Blend the salsa to desired consistency.
• Return salsa to skillet over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, add the butter to a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted. Gently crack eggs into the melted butter. Fry to your preference and set aside.
• Just before serving, add tortilla chips to salsa in the skillet and cook until coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Divide chilaquiles between 4 plates and top each serving with a fried egg. Add cotija cheese, crema, avocado, and onion, if desired, and serve immediately.

CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Mix together the tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and lime juice.
• In a saute pan, heat the butter. Add the tomato mixture, and then the eggs to the pan. Cook and scramble the eggs, then add the fried chips, mixing and folding all the ingredients slowly. You want the egg cooked and the chips still crispy, and the whole thing should be light and fluffy. Top with the shredded cheese and serve.
