Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound fresh tomatillos
3 fresh serrano chiles
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
Olive oil, as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chicken broth or more as needed
1/3 cup vegetable oil
10 corn tortillas, cut into eighths, preferably stale (spread out to dry overnight)
3 cups roasted Tomatillo Salsa
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco*** or a mild feta
2 thin slices onion, separated into rings
1/2 cup Mexican crema, creme fraiche or sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Special equipment: 4 individual casserole dishes
  • To make the salsa:
  • Preheat the broiler or oven to 550 degrees F.
  • Remove husks from the tomatillos and rinse under warm water to remove the stickiness. Put the chiles, garlic, onion and tomatillos on a baking sheet. Season with a little olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Put on a rack about 1 or 2 inches from the heat, and cook, turning the vegetables once, until softened and slightly charred, about 5 to 7 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the garlic and pull off the tops of the chiles. Add all the broiled ingredients to a blender along with the fresh cilantro and puree. Pour in 1/4 cup of chicken broth and blend to combine. Add more broth, if needed, for desired consistency.
  • To make the chilaquiles:
  • Pour about 1/3 cup vegetable oil into a large saute pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the tortillas, working in 2 or 3 batches, and cook until lightly browned and nearly crisp. Drain the tortillas on paper towels and discard the remaining oil. Wipe the pan with a paper towel.
  • In the same pan, add the tomatillo salsa and bring to simmer over low heat. Add the tortillas and cook until soft but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide the mixture among 4 individual casserole dishes. Top with the cheese crumbles and onion rings. Drizzle with Mexican crema, sprinkle with some chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
  • *Cook's Note: Salsa Verde means "green sauce" and is typically made with tomatillos, green chiles and cilantro. Make your own fresh, or you can also find it canned at most supermarkets.
  • Tomatillos are a small green fruit encased in a tissue paper-like husk. They should be used when they are still green, before they are ripe and the husk has turned brown. Before using, remove the husk, rinse and dry the fruit. (They do not need to be seeded.) They are found in most supermarkets
  • **Cook's Note: Chilaquiles is a Mexican brunch dish invented to use leftovers. It is made with day old tortillas (cut or torn into chips) and salsa verde. They are cooked together until the tortillas are slightly softened. Chilaquiles are eaten alone or with beans, eggs or shredded chicken.
  • ***Cook's Note: Queso fresco is a white, mild, fresh Mexican cheese with the texture of fresh farmer's cheese in the US. Queso fresco can be found in many supermarkets, Latin specialty markets or online. It can be substituted with a mild feta cheese.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

15 tomatillos
4 jalapenos cut in half
1 Spanish onion
4 cloves of garlic
2 leaves epazote
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup olive oil
15 corn tortillas
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup asadero-style cheese, shredded
6 eggs
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a preheated 400 degree oven, roast the tomatillos and the jalapenos together until the skins on the tomatillos blister. Place the tomatillos and the jalapenos in a food processor and blend. In a saute pan, heat the olive oil and add the onions, cook on low heat, approximately 10 to 12 minutes, until caramelized. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the onions and garlic to the tomatillos mixture and the epazote, cilantro and chicken broth. Blend to combine.
  • In a separate saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 325 degrees. Use a high temperate thermometer for accurate temperature. Cut the tortillas in quarters and fry until crispy. Drain the tortillas and set aside. Combine the tomatillos mixture, tortillas and eggs in a large saute pan and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked.
  • To serve, spoon the chilaquiles onto a plate and top them with the cheeses. Melt in a hot oven and serve with your favorite hot sauce. Top the chilaquiles with sour cream and a little chopped cilantro.

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound tomatillos, unhusked
2 serrano chile peppers
2 jalapeno chile peppers
8 pequin chile peppers
4 cloves garlic
1 small whole onion, peeled
¼ cup chopped cilantro
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place the tomatillos, chiles, garlic cloves, and onion in a dry, cast iron pan. Toast, turning occasionally over medium-high heat until the husks of the tomatillos have blackened and their skins turn translucent. The goal is to soften the tomatillos by blackening the skin without allowing them to split. Remove from pan, and allow to cool slightly.
  • Remove the husks from the tomatillos and the stems from the peppers. Place into the bowl of a food processor with the cilantro and salt to taste; process to desired consistency. Pour the salsa into a saucepan, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes to mellow the flavors and remove the raw taste.

Tips:

  • To make the best roasted tomatillo salsa, choose ripe, firm tomatillos. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatillos until they are slightly charred and softened. This will bring out their sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a variety of chiles in your salsa to create a complex flavor profile. Some good options include jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros.
  • Be sure to remove the seeds from the chiles before adding them to the salsa. This will help to reduce the heat level.
  • If you like a smoky flavor, you can roast the chiles over an open flame before adding them to the salsa.
  • Let the salsa cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the salsa with your favorite Mexican dishes, such as tacos, enchiladas, and burritos.
