Chilaquiles recipe  Share this recipe on FacebookChilaquiles are fried corn tortillas cooked in red or green salsa and served with cheese or other condiments. They are typically served for breakfast together with eggs, beans and nopalitos (a Mexican vegetable).
Preparation time: 5 minutes, Cooking time: 20 minutes, Serves: 4
Ingredients 12 corn tortillas, preferably stale
Vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups red chile sauce or salsa verde (see recipes below)
For garnishing
Sliced avocados
Cotija cheese (substitute with Parmesan cheese)
Creme fraiche or sour cream
Chopped cilantro (coriander)
Thinly sliced red onion
Directions Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat add the vegetable oil (about 1/8th inch in height) and bring to a heat. Add the tortilla wedges a few at a time (do not overcrowd) and fry until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Clean the pan and return to heat. Add 2 more tablespoons of vegetable oil and bring to a heat again. Add the red or green salsa and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fried tortilla wedges and gently toss them in the salsa. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately with fried eggs, beans and any of the garnishing ingredients. Notes and tips The tortillas will fry better if they are a day or two old (the drier they are, the better). If not, cut them first, then put them in a warm oven for 5 - 6 minutes, remove them and let them cool down, then use as directed.
