Best Chilaquiles Rojos Recipes

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.

CHILAQUILES ROJOS

Steps:

• 1. Set a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add chilies and cook, pressing them against the pan and then turning, until fragrant, less than 30 seconds per side. Transfer chilies to a bowl, cover with warm water and let sit until softened, about 20 minutes. 2. In a food processor, blend together chilies, tomatoes, garlic and water until smooth. Heat oil in a large, lidded dutch oven set over medium heat. Add chili-tomato purée and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Add broth, reduce heat to low-medium, and simmer 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside. 3. Meanwhile, heat 1/8 inch oil in skillet over high heat. Once oil is hot, add a third of tortillas and fry until crisp and golden, 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with salt. 4. Discard all but 1 tablespoon oil from skillet and set over medium heat. Add eggs and fry until whites are firm and yolks are set but still soft, 2-3 minutes. Set aside. 5. Add tortillas to chili-tomato sauce in dutch oven and stir to coat. Set dutch oven over high heat and bring sauce to a boil, then turn off flame and cover pot. Let sit, covered, until tortillas soften, about 5 minutes. Divide tortillas and sauce among four plates and top with eggs, sour cream and queso fresco.

CHILAQUILES ROJOS CON HUEVOS AHOGADOS

Steps:

• Licúa los tomates, el agua, la mitad de la cebolla, los chiles y 1 taza de cilantro hasta que estén cremosos. Pica el resto del cilantro; ponlo a un lado. Coloca los totopos en una sartén grande; cúbrelos con la mezcla de tomate. Hazla hervir.
• Rompe los huevos, uno por uno, en un tazón pequeño y viértelos uno por uno en la sartén de modo que quede espacio entre ellos. Pon la tapa; cocina los huevos a fuego medio-bajo durante 12 min. o hasta que las claras cuajen por completo y las yemas comiencen a espesarse sin estar todavía firmes.
• Ponle a cada huevo 1 rebanada de Singles; cocínalas tapadas 3 min. o hasta que se derritan. Sirve los chilaquiles con la crema agria, el resto de la cebolla y el cilantro picado que reservaste.
