A chilaquile is essentially corn chips tossed in a sauce base and then topped with your favorite ingredients. Here is one recipe.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cut a stack of corn tortillas into eight wedges (like a pizza)<\/li>\n
  2. Fry them in canola oil at about 375 degrees<\/li>\n
  3. When they are browned, remove using a spider strainer, and salt immediately.<\/li>\n
  4. Alternately, you can use Doritos, Fritos, or other corn chips<\/li>\n
  5. Set aside in a very large mixing bowl<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    SAUCE<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. In a large fry pan, saute a sliced onion in vegetable or canola oil<\/li>\n
    2. Add some halved or quartered cloves of garlic<\/li>\n
    3. Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce<\/li>\n
    4. Optional jalape\u00f1os, serranos, poblanos – roasted and skinned<\/li>\n
    5. Salt and pepper<\/li>\n
    6. Add a small of crushed tomatoes, or two cups of salsa<\/li>\n
    7. Bring to a light boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
    8. Let cool about 10 minutes then put into blender and blend until blended, but still a bit chunky<\/li>\n
    9. Meanwhile, fry up one egg per person being served
      \nAlt:  Use some sort of protein: shredded chicken, pork, carnitas<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      HINT:  You can put one egg in a skillet with 1\/4 C boiling water and cover.  Cook for 3 minutes. Dump water and return to heat just until water has evaporated.<\/p>\n

      FINISH<\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Pour sauce over chips and toss just to coat completely<\/li>\n
      2. Plate, and then top with your protein<\/li>\n
      3. Drizzle Mexican Crema or warmed sour cream over the top<\/li>\n
      4. Sprinkle with shredded cheese – Cotija is traditional<\/li>\n
      5. OPT:  Put back in the oven to melt the cheese<\/li>\n
      6. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and thinly sliced red onion.<\/li>\n
      7. Optional: Add a dollop of creme fraiche<\/li>\n
      8. Serve hot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This CANNOT be made ahead, and must be combined just before serving, or the chips will be soggy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
