Ingredients
Salsa Verde (See Note 1)
- 1 lb tomatillos husks removed
- 3 jalapeños sliced lengwise and seeds removed
- 1/2 white onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1 lime juiced (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Chilaquiles
- 12 corn tortillas
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese
- 1 tbsp cilantro chopped
Other Optional Toppings
- 1 fried egg per serving
- 1 cup shredded chicken
Instructions
Salsa Verde (See Note 1)
- Cover the tomatillos, jalapenos, onion and garlic with water in a medium saucepan or pot.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the tomatillos, jalapenos, and onion to a blender using a slotted spoon.
- Add cilantro, lime juice and salt. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Chilaquiles
- Stack the corn tortillas on top of each other and cut them into sixths to create triangle wedge chips.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cut tortilla wedges and fry for 10 minutes, turning often, until the tortillas are crispy and lightly fried.
- Pour the salsa verde over (and optional shredded chicken, see Note 2) and toss together to coat all the chips.
Serve (See Note 2)
- Drizzle Mexican crema on top with crumbled cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You could use this quick "boiled" recipe above for the salsa verde or try my Roasted Salsa Verde recipe, or store bought.
- You could serve this with a fried egg on top for a traditional breakfast or add shredded chicken (as pictured above) for a more substantial meal.
