Chilaquiles Recipe 

salsa

chicken broth

cumin

can black beans, chicken

corn

organic corn chips

queso fresco cheese

If using corn tortillas, heat oven to 300 F. 

 (Easiest to make these ahead) Spray or brush tortillas lightly with olive oil  ( on the top side only) and sprinkle with salt and bake the rack or on a sheet pan until crisp. About 25-30 mintues, turn heat off and let cool. Break them into quarters. NOTE: Fastest way is to use store bought corn chips.

Lightly grease the bottom and edges of a 10 inch skillet with oil, place over medium-high heat and add the salsa, broth and cumin and bring to a simmer. Add the blackbeans and corn or other substitutions, stirring until hot. If using tortillas instead of chips, add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the tortilla chips and stir to lightly coat each side, about 2-3 minutes, lowering heat to low.

Add the crumbled cheese,  turn heat off and place in the warm oven and melt the cheese.  This will have a &#8220;casserole&#8221; consistancy.

Prep your garnishes. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro. Top with sliced or grated radishes and avocado. Add pickled onions or pepitas if you like. Serve with lime wedges, hot sauce and sour cream if you like.

Or top with a fried egg!  (sunny side up is nice).

These turned out AMAZING! Love the use of salsa here for the base. Easy and flavorful.

Made these for dinner tonight and was a tad unsure about placing chip tortillas on a rather liquid broth.... fear not!!! It turned out scrumptious! Did a veggie version and another chicken for meat eaters. Carnivore went back for second helping (without realising it was vegetarian) and finished the lot! Will be a regular and will have confidence to use up left overs in future. Black bean and corn with jarred peppers worked a treat. Thank you Sylvia x

Delicious meal. Wonderful Flavors. I will definitely make this again.

Super easy and sooooo delish!!!  Highly recommend!

Ah-mazing!! I’ve made this a couple times now and it’s always a huge hit.

Yummy in our tummies. This is a super easy and quick recipe to make. I make a vegetarian version. I make my own queso fresco, which takes the longest in this recipe. If you can purchase it, much faster. Unfortunately they don’t sell it where I live. I use fresh tortillas which I lightly oil and salt and bake. I use vegetable broth and fresh salsa which makes a big difference. I put in black beans and corn niblets. As far as garnishes, I use avocado, sour cream, scallions and cilantro. Wish I could find pepitas for a lottle crunch. This is to die for. Thanks for a great vegetarian recipe!

Delicious homemade Chilaquiles recipe with crispy corn tortillas tossed in a homemade chilaquiles sauce and topped with queso fresco and crema.

Chilaquiles

white corn tortillas* (, preferably older/stale)

oil (,

guajillo chiles

arbol chiles

chicken broth ((474 grams))

tomatillos (medium size, outer leaf removed, washed)

garlic

cumin seeds

Mexican oregano

cilantro ((4 grams))

salt (,

onion (, sliced thinly)

Queso fresco ((40 grams))

Mexican crema ((56 grams), or sour cream)

avocado (, chopped)

eggs (, fried)

can black refried beans (, warmed)

chicken ((for heartier dinner option))

Fry Tortillas (See notes for air-fryer, baked, or store-bought options): Cut corn tortillas into 6 wedges and allow them to dry on the counter for a few hours, or overnight (or, use older stale corn tortillas). Add about an inch or so of vegetable oil to the bottom of a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the corn tortillas (you may need to work in batches) to hot oil and cooking until crisp, turning them once or twice. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

Soak dried chiles: Use scissors to cut the dried chiles open, and remove veins and seeds inside. Place dried chiles in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil reduce heat to simmer and cook them until softened, 20-30 minutes.

Blend Salsa Verde: While the chiles cook, make the green sauce. To a blender add 1/3 cup chicken broth, garlic, oregano and cumin seed. Blend well. Add tomatillos and ¼ cup (a small handful) fresh cilantro and blend until smooth.

Simmer: Heat a saucepan with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once hot, add sliced onion and cook for 3 minutes. Remove onion to a plate. Pour the green tomatillo sauce from the blender into the saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Blend Red Chiles: Once the red chiles are softened, use a slotted spoon to remove the chiles from the liquid and place them in blender with 1 cup chicken broth. Blend until smooth.

Combine: Pour red chile sauce mixture into a fine mesh strainer set over the pot with the green sauce. Use a spoon to press it through the strainer and into the pot. Season with salt and simmer for 10 minutes. Add 2/3 cup more chicken broth. Simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and add a dash of oregano, or ground cumin, if needed.

Add Tortillas: Add crispy tortillas to the sauce and toss until well coated.

Serve: Divide chilaquiles between plates and sprinkle with a pinch of queso fresco. Add some sautéed onions, a drizzle of crema, sliced avocado, and chicken if desired. Serve with a side of refried black beans and a fried or sunny side up egg.

These were great!  A little time consuming with the steps for the sauce, but very well worth it and I will definitely make this again, just quadruple the batch and freeze the sauce.
