CHILAQUILES ROJOS (TRADITIONAL MEXICAN BREAKFAST DISH)

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 ripe Roma tomatoes, quartered
8 serrano chiles, left whole, stems removed
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 white onion, peeled and quartered
4 tablespoons oil
Salt
Chicken base, for seasoning
6 ounces tomato puree
8 ounces cooked and shredded chicken
3 ounces chopped fresh cilantro, plus cilantro sprigs for serving
6 ounces tortilla chips, strips or squares are best
6 ounces sour cream
1 onion, sliced into rings
12 ounces crumbled queso fresco cheese or panela cheese
Prepared guacamole, for serving
Prepared refried black beans, for serving
Prepared pico de gallo salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Grill the tomatoes, chiles, garlic and onions until they have a slightly blackened skin. Do not burn!
  • Bring 6 cups water to a boil with the blackened veggies until they are cooked through and soft inside.
  • Pour the veggies with the hot water and a little added cold water into a food processor and process. Don't blend too much, you want the mixture to be chunky.
  • In a large pot, heat up the oil until smoking. Then (carefully!) add a small amount of the sauce mixture and let it burn away for 1 minute (this is for a nice smoky flavor). Then slowly add the rest of the mixture and season with salt and some chicken base.
  • Add the tomato puree for color, and mix well. Add the shredded chicken and cook until it is heated through. Add the cilantro. Add the chips and serve immediately on 4 plates. Top each plate with some sour cream, sliced onions, queso fresco and a sprig of cilantro.
  • Serve with guacamole, refried black beans and pico de gallo on the side.

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.
