Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

6 to 7 guajillo peppers or red New Mexican dried chilies
About 2 tablespoons safflower or vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
Ten 6-inch corn tortillas
Naturally flavored neutral cooking spray
About 1/2 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika, pimenton
1 scant teaspoon (1/3 palm full) oregano
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup water
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 can (28 ounces) fire-roasted or diced tomatoes
About 2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, optional
1 small red onion
A handful cilantro
3 to 4 radishes
About 4 ounces cotija cheese or queso fresco
About 6 ounces Monterey Pepper Jack cheese
4 pats butter, about 1 teaspoon each
4 large eggs
Pickled sliced jalapeno peppers, mild or spicy

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Preheat a stainless 3-quart pot over high heat and a large cast-iron skillet, 10 to 12 inches, over medium-low heat; this will be your serving platter.
  • Remove the stems and seeds of your dried chilies and toast in the pot, 2 minutes. Remove, then add oil, onions and jalapeno pepper. Soften onions, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stack and cut the corn tortillas into 8 pieces, halved across, and then cut into 4 equal wide slices. Arrange on parchment lined baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Bake to deeply golden and fragrant, 10 minutes.
  • To onions, add pimenton, oregano and garlic. Stir and add water. Let it absorb, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chilies back to pot with chicken or vegetable stock, tomatoes, honey and cocoa powder if using. Simmer 7 to 8 minutes to plump the peppers. Puree in high powered blender or food processor, and then transfer to large cast-iron skillet. Reserve any extra in an airtight container for enchiladas or more chilaquiles.
  • Chop red onion, cilantro and thinly slice radishes with truffle shaver, sharp knife or mandoline. Crumble the cotija or queso fresco. Shred the Pepper Jack cheese.
  • Add tortillas to sauce in cast-iron skillet and toss to coat. Top with cheeses and place back in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Place 2 small nonstick skillets over medium heat (have some lids or foil on hand). Add a pat of butter to each pan, then crack an egg into each pan and cover. Cook until whites are solid and yolks still soft. Remove to a plate and repeat.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and top with red onions, cilantro, radishes, pickled peppers and eggs.
  • Serve the chilaquiles from the pan.

RED CHILAQUILES WITH CHICKEN



Red Chilaquiles With Chicken image

Chilaquiles is a sort of top-of-the-stove tortilla casserole. In its simplest form, it consists of a freshly made salsa into which you stir fried tortillas. Sometimes eggs are added, and sometimes chicken as well. The salsa can be red or green; even thick black beans may be used. I favor microwave-toasted tortillas, but if you don't have the time, use baked tortilla chips. Serve this right after you've stirred in the tortilla chips, because if they're not fried, they will quickly become soggy.

Categories     brunch, main course

Time 40m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes
1 jalapeño chile, or 2 serranos, seeded for a milder sauce and chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion, soaked for a few minutes in cold water, drained and rinsed
2 garlic cloves, halved, green shoots removed
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 to 1 cup water, chicken or vegetable stock, as needed
Salt to taste
1 large chicken breast, poached and shredded about 2 cups shredded meat
8 corn tortillas, toasted and coarsely broken up, or 2 cups baked tortilla chips
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 small red or white onion, cut into thick rings, soaked for five minutes in cold water, then drained, rinsed and dried on paper towels

Steps:

  • Combine the tomatoes, chiles, chopped onion and garlic in a blender, and blend until coarsely pureed.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet or a wide saucepan over medium-high heat, and add a drop of the puree. It should sizzle. Add all of the tomato puree, and cook, stirring, for about five to ten minutes, until the sauce darkens, thickens and begins to stick to the pan. Add water or stock if the mixture seems dry, and season to taste with salt. Turn the heat to low, and simmer, stirring often, for about 15 minutes, until the sauce coats the front and back of a spoon. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Stir in the chicken and heat through. Stir in the tortilla chips or pieces, stir together for a half minute, and remove from the heat. Spinkle the cheese, cilantro and sliced onion over the top, and serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 large poblano peppers
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
2 pounds ground chicken
1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
12 large or 16 medium to small tomatillos, peeled, rinsed and halved
1/4 cup cilantro, a handful
2 cups chicken stock
2 teaspoons honey
Salt and pepper
1 lime, juiced
1/2 cup creme fraiche
3 cups lightly crushed tortilla chips --whole-grain tortilla chips, such as flax seed tortillas add a wonderful texture and flavor
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, about 1/3 pound
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, about 1/3 pound

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler to high. Place the poblanos under hot broiler and char until blackened an all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Leave the door of the oven cracked to allow the steam to escape. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to cool enough to handle.
  • While peppers char, heat extra-virgin olive oil in a high sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and lightly brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in onions, jalapeno and garlic and cook to soften onions about 5 minutes. While onions cook, place tomatillos and cilantro in the food processor and process until smooth. Pour the tomatillos into the chicken mixture and stir to combine. Stir in chicken stock and honey, season with salt and pepper and simmer chili 10 minutes.
  • When poblano peppers are cool enough to handle, remove seeds and chop, stir into chili. Remove chili pan from heat and stir in lime juice. Add dollops of creme fraiche on top of the chili, placing spoonfuls evenly across the pan. Cover the pan with a layer of crushed chips and top with Swiss and Monterey Jack cheeses. Place under broiler until brown and bubbly. Serve from hot skillet, spooning out chili into shallow dinner bowls. TOUCHDOWN!

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN CHILAQUILES



Sheet-Pan Chicken Chilaquiles image

Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican breakfast dish of fried corn tortillas simmered in a red (roja) or green (verde) sauce and often topped with cheese and fried eggs. The green sauce features tomatillos, while the red version uses tomatoes. Here, the quick salsa roja gets a flavor boost from charring the components under a broiler, resulting in a sauce that is pleasantly spicy, bright and smoky. While this dish is usually made in a skillet, this version is cooked on a sheet pan, making it a breeze to feed four people in just one batch. Guajillo chiles have medium heat and an earthy sweetness; for a milder sauce, New Mexico chiles are an excellent choice.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 Roma tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds), quartered
1 small yellow onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 jalapeño, stemmed and halved lengthwise
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
5 dried Guajillo chile peppers (1 ounce), stemmed, seeded and torn into large pieces
1/4 cup safflower or canola oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
8 ounces corn tortilla chips
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (from 1 whole chicken)
Finely chopped white onion, sliced radishes, chopped avocado, crumbled queso fresco, sour cream, chopped cilantro and pickled jalapeños, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source and heat to high. On a sheet pan, combine tomatoes, onion, garlic and jalapeño, and broil until lightly charred in spots, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes for the garlic and 15 to 20 minutes for the tomatoes, onion and jalapeño. (They should be lightly charred around the edges, but not all over). Transfer to a blender.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine the broth and dried chiles, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let stand while the tomatoes and vegetables broil.
  • To the blender add the rehydrated chiles with broth, oil, salt and coriander, and purée until smooth.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. On the same sheet pan (no need to wash), toss chips with 2 cups of the sauce and spread in an even layer. Toss the chicken with the remaining sauce and arrange on top of the chips. Roast until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with preferred toppings, and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use day-old tortillas: They will hold up better in the chilaquiles and won't get soggy as quickly.
  • Cut the tortillas into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chilaquiles in batches if necessary.
  • Use a variety of toppings: This will add flavor and texture to your chilaquiles. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, avocado, and salsa.
  • Serve the chilaquiles immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Chicken Suiza Chilaquiles are a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its combination of crispy tortillas, flavorful chicken, and creamy sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give Chicken Suiza Chilaquiles a try!
