QUICK CHILAQUILES RECIPES

Steps:

• Fry the tortillas. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add about a quarter of the tortilla wedges and cook, flipping once, until lightly brown and crisp.
• Drain the tortilla chips. Drain the freshly fried tortilla chips on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat this process until all tortillas are fried, adding more oil if needed.
• Make the salsa roja. Place the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and garlic in a blender or food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pour in 1 cup of the broth. Blend until smooth.
• Cook the salsa. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the salsa and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes (the consistency of the salsa will vary depending on the size and juiciness of the tomatoes). Add additional broth to thin out the salsa, if needed. Taste and season with salt as needed.
• Coat the chips with the salsa. Add the tortilla chips and stir carefully to coat the chips. Cook until the tortillas are heated through, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt as needed.
• Serve warm. Serve warm garnished with avocado or guacamole, crema, queso fresco, and/or fried eggs, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° with racks in the upper and lower shelves. Brush tortillas all over with 3 tablespoons of oil, then stack and cut each into 8 wedges. Divide wedges evenly between 2 baking sheets and bake, rotating and tossing chips halfway through, until golden and crisp, 15 to 17 minutes. Season each tray with ¼ teaspoon salt and let cool slightly while preparing sauce. Keep oven on.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until light golden, about 1 minute. Pour in salsa and broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes until just slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in baked tortilla chips until just coated.
• Make 4 wells in chip mixture with the back of a spoon and crack 1 egg into each well. Season eggs with salt and pepper.
• Transfer skillet to oven and bake until whites are set and yolks are just barely set, 12 to 15 minutes.
• While chilaquiles are baking, thin sour cream with about 4 teaspoons water until drizzling consistency, adding more water a few drops at a time if necessary. 
• Once the egg bake comes out of the oven, drizzle some of the thinned sour cream all over. Top with some of the cheese, cilantro, and onion and serve with remaining garnish on the side.
