Ingredients
For the Corn Tortilla Chips:
- 10 small tortillas cut into quarters, preferably old or dry (OR about 40 store-bought corn tortilla chips)
- vegetable oil to fry
- 3 cups Pumpkin Jalapeno Salsa Or another salsa of your choice.
For the Ground Beef:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning of your choice 1.25 oz
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Suggested Toppings:
- 3 tablespoons sour cream warmed
- ¾ cup queso fresco crumbled
- 4 fried eggs
- 1 avocado sliced
- grape tomatoes sliced
- ½ small red onion sliced
- chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges optional
Instructions
- New corn tortillas can be left to dry on the counter for a few hours or overnight. To prepare the tortilla chips, heat a 2-inch depth of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the quartered tortillas in batches until they are light golden brown and crisp. Do not overcrowd the pan!!! Remove them with a slotted spoon and place on a large baking sheet lined with paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Set aside. If you would like to, you can use store-bought corn tortilla chips instead.
- Prepare the quick pumpkin jalapeno salsa according to the directions stated in the recipe.
- To prepare the ground beef, place thawed beef into a medium to large skillet and brown for about 5-6 minutes over medium-high heat. Drain the excess of fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and then water. Let cook for a couple of minutes and then add the vinegar, letting cooking for another 2 minutes. Set aside.
- To assemble the beef chilaquiles casserole, mix the tortilla chips with the warm/hot salsa in a skillet or baking dish, being careful to not break the chips apart. Top with the warm/hot ground beef and then drizzle on the warmed Crema Mexicana Agria.
- Top with crumbled Queso Fresco, fried eggs, sliced tomatoes, onions and avocados. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve immediately while still warm/hot, with lime wedges if desired. Enjoy!
