Chilaquiles image

Usually, chilaquiles are eaten at breakfast time. This makes them a popular recipe to use leftover tortillas and salsas. Chilaquiles are often thought to be a cure for the common hangover; this is because in Mexico it is believed that spicy foods help in the recovery process from a hangover.

Categories     Chicken

Time 3h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, quartered
2 garlic cloves
2 onions, finely chopped
1 garlic, minced
12 tomatoes, peeled and seeded and pureed
1 tablespoon cilantro, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce (optional)
4 round corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream (thinned with a small amount of water)
1/2 lb manchego cheese
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Cut the tortillas into strips.
  • Cook chicken with a little water, the quartered onion, a pinch of salt and two cloves of garlic. Cover, cook slowly over a medium heat.
  • Remove cooked chicken from the pan and discard onion and garlic; allow to cool enough to handle.
  • Sautee the chopped onion and garlic in a little olive oil.
  • Once the onion is translucent, add tomatoes, cilantro and Tabasco sauce; simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes; salt and pepper to taste.
  • Shred the chicken and add to the sauce; lower heat and cook for a few minutes to absorb some of the flavors from the sauce. Do not over cook.
  • Deep fry the corn tortillas. When they are crisp, remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Assemble the chilaquiles like lasagna. Use a large lasagna pan and layer the following: tortillas, chicken in sauce, thinned sour cream, cheese.
  • Repeat layers and finish with cheese and sour cream.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F for about 45 minutes.

The chilaquiles were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as good as I hoped.

The chilaquiles were a bit bland. I think I'll add more spices next time.

The chilaquiles were a little too spicy for my taste, but they were still really good.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but these chilaquiles were just the right amount of heat. The flavors were amazing and I couldn't stop eating them.

These chilaquiles were easy to make and so flavorful. I loved the combination of the crispy tortilla chips with the rich, flavorful sauce.

I've made chilaquiles many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of the corn and black beans gives it a really nice flavor and texture.

These chilaquiles were absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
