CHILAQUILES STRATA WITH TOMATILLO SALSA AND TOMATO-CORN-AVOCADO SALAD WITH GREEN ONION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the tomatillo salsa: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the tomatillos, garlic and onion on a baking sheet. Toss with the canola oil and some salt and pepper to combine. Roast in the oven until the mixture is slightly charred and soft, stirring once, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees F.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Add the spinach, cilantro, chipotle, lime juice and some salt and pepper and process until smooth. Taste, and add some honey as desired to balance the acidity of the tomatillos. Measure out 1 cup and transfer the rest to a serving bowl.
• For the strata: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the milk, 1 cup of the tomatillo salsa, half of the Cheddar, half of the Monterey Jack and the cilantro and stir until combined. Stir in the chips and let the mixture sit for 15 minutes. Scatter the remaining Cheddar and Monterey Jack on top.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake until lightly golden brown and puffed, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with the cotija and bake for another 5 minutes.
• While the strata bakes, make the salad: Heat the canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the corn and cook, tossing, just to warm, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, avocados, parsley and some salt and pepper and toss gently once or twice.
• Combine the green onions, lime juice, mustard and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk in about 1/3 cup olive oil to combine; taste, add more oil or honey as desired.
• Pour the green onion vinaigrette around the corn mixture and fold gently to combine. Let the salad sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
• Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the tomato-corn-avocado salad and the remaining tomatillo salsa.

CHILAQUILES BURGERS

Steps:

• For the tomatillo salsa: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos and onion with the oil in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in an even layer and roast, turning a few times, until soft and lightly golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Put the roasted vegetables in a blender, add the lime juice and process until smooth. Add the cilantro and pulse a few times until just incorporated.
• For the burgers: Shape the beef into four 1-inch-thick burgers. Use your thumb to press a good divot in the center of each. Season the burgers generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil to a large cast-iron skillet and heat until smoking. Cook the burgers until golden brown on both sides and cooked to medium doneness, about 4 minutes per side. Just before the second side is done, top each burger with 2 slices of Monterey jack, add a splash of water to the skillet, cover immediately and cook 20 seconds to completely melt the cheese. Set aside.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to sizzle. Crack the eggs into 4 small bowls or ramekins. Slip the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are firm and completely cooked but the yolks are still soft and just set up, about 2 minutes.
• Put the burgers on the bottom buns. Top with a few spoonsful of the tomatillo salsa, an egg, a bit more salsa, some crumbled chips, some Cotija, a few jalapeno slices and the bun tops.

CHILAQUILES SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and jalapeno. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion appears translucent, about 4 minutes. Add tomato and garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add salsa and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Add tortilla chips to the pan and stir until coated with sauce.
• Heat remaining oil in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs together and pour into the hot pan; cook until starting to set, about 2 minutes. Scrape cooked egg off the edges and fold into the center. Cook until eggs are halfway cooked but still runny, 2 to 3 minutes more. Fold into the tortilla chip mixture. Keep stirring to finish scrambling the eggs, about 2 minutes. Add Cotija cheese and turn off heat.
• Divide egg mixture onto plates. Garnish with avocado, cilantro, and sour cream.

PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until light and frothy and uniform in color. Strain the eggs through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Whisk in the creme fraiche.
• Heat the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat until it melts. Add the eggs and gently mix using a heat resistant rubber spatula or a wooden spoon until soft curds form.
• Remove from the heat (the eggs will still be somewhat wet), season with salt and pepper and let the heat of the pan finish cooking them for another 1 minute. Gently fold in any of the Optional Additions just as the eggs are coming off the heat, if using.
