Friends made these when we visited the Army base at Garmisch, Germany back in 1976. The enchiladas are fun to make because everyone gathers around and adds their own toppings.

Enchilada Lasagna image

I adapted this recipe from one I got from a television program. The refried beans were a last-minute inspiration when company was coming and I didn't have enough ground beef thawed out! They add extra goodness to this hearty cheesy dish.-Diane McCann, Sterling, Colorado

Mexican enchiladas meet Middle Eastern shakshuka in this brunch for a crowd. It's all about the layers: fried tortillas, jalapeno-spiked salsa, black beans, and poached eggs. Serve it family-style, topped with radishes, scallions, and cilantro.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes
1 medium white onion, cut into quarters
2 jalapenos
2 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, plus more chopped and whole leaves for serving
1/4 cup safflower oil
6 corn tortillas
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
6 large eggs, room temperature
3 radishes, thinly sliced
1 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat broiler with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, until blistered and slightly softened, 6 to 8 minutes. (If garlic is browning too quickly, remove it early.) Move oven rack to center and reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Discard garlic skins and jalapeno stems (for a mild salsa, remove seeds as well). In a food processor, pulse garlic and vegetables until coarsely pureed. Season with salt and pepper; pulse just to combine. Add cilantro; pulse to combine. Salsa can be stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • In a 12-inch oven-proof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Once hot, add 2 tortillas and fry, turning once, until they begin to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Fry remaining tortillas in two more batches. Reduce heat to medium; add 2 1/2 cups salsa to skillet. (It will splatter slightly.) Cook until bright red and slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add beans; cook 1 minute more. Transfer mixture to a heatproof bowl.
  • Line bottom of skillet with tortillas; top with salsa-bean mixture. Make 6 wells in mixture with the back of a spoon. Crack 1 egg into each well. Transfer to oven; cook until whites are just set but yolks are still runny, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle radishes, scallion, and cilantro over top; serve.
