Chilaquiles Con Pollo Y Queso: image

Chilaquiles are tortillas cut into strips, fried, and cooked in either a red or green sauce. Literally meaning "poor man's food", chilaquiles were undoubtedly invented as a way of using up leftover tortillas. They have evolved into a very versatile dish, with some rather sophisticated variations. The following version uses a red sauce; however a green sauce, such as the one given for Huevos al Albañil, below, is also very good. This is by KAREN HURSH GRABER.

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

20 medium corn tortillas
1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 ancho chilies, seeded, deveined and soaked in hot water until soft
4 roma tomatoes, roasted and peeled
2 large garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 medium white onion, peeled
1/2-1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups gouda cheese or 1 1/2 cups chihuahua cheese
1 chicken breast, poached and shredded
thinly sliced onion
1 cup creme fraiche (crema acida) or 1 cup sour cream (crema acida)

Steps:

  • Cut the tortillas into strips or wedges. In a large saucepan or cazuela, heat the oil, add the tortilla strips, and fry until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Place the softened chiles, tomatoes, garlic and onion in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into the same saucepan used to fry the tortillas, bring to a boil, lower heat, and cook for about 15 minutes. Add salt to taste.
  • Place the tortilla strips in the hot sauce, add the chicken broth and cook until most of the sauce has been absorbed.
  • Distribute the shredded cheese and chicken over the chilaquiles. Garnish with onion rings and serve with crema.

These chilaquiles were easy to make and turned out great! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. I also added some black beans and corn to the sauce, which gave it a nice extra flavor.
