I know I have not blogged in months but the end of the year always gets so busy! Most of the recipes from now on will probably only have the final picture with the recipe to make it easier for me. Taking pictures with each step really increases the time it takes me to cook and blog. I am hoping this will allow me to post more often :) So here is my first recipe with only the final picture.
Chilaquiles is typically made to use up leftovers and that is why it was perfect for me to make yesterday. Plus my husband loves chips and salsa and this is pretty similar considering it has a spicy sauce and crunchy tortillas chips. And the best part is that it is a nice warm dish to enjoy on a cold day like yesterday.
Serves 4 fans
The Players:
Tortilla Chips
- 4 tortillas
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- Taco Seasoning
Sauce
- 1 can of whole peeled plum tomatoes
- 3-4 chipotle peppers
- 1 large onion diced
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup of soy chorizo
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro plus more for garnish
- Salt
- 4-8 Eggs
- 3 green onion sprigs
- Cotija cheese
The Game Plan:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut tortillas up into triangles. Place them on a baking pan and spread out evenly. Spray them with olive oil using something like a Misto. Then sprinkle some taco seasoning on the tortillas. Turn all of them over and repeat. Once oven is preheated, place the baking tray in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until crispy.
*If you do not have an olive oil sprayer before cutting the tortillas up, brush them with olive oil on both sides and then cut them up into triangles.
Place the whole can of tomatoes in a blender along with the chiptole peppers. Blend it together until it is a smooth sauce. Then taste it to see if you want more spice, if so add more chiptole peppers and re-blend. Taste again and add salt as needed.
Heat a large pan or pot to medium heat. Place all onions and let saute for about 10 minutes or until slightly browned. Then add garlic and let cook for another 2 minutes while stirring so the garlic does not burn. Place all sauce into a pan and also add chorizo. Let it all simmer while stirring occasionally until thickened. About 10 minutes. Add cilantro to the mixture. Taste to make sure it is all to your liking if not re-season.
Make the eggs as you wish. We had them over easy and it was delish.
To assemble, place sauce in a bowl, place egg on top. Top with cotija cheese, cilantro, and green onions. Then place the tortillas on top. Smash the tortillas in the sauce and enjoy!
*Another great addition would have been avocado, however we did not have any in the house :(
