Chilaquiles With Chorizo Recipes

CHORIZO CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Heat a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and cook the tomatillos, 1 jalapeño, the onion, and garlic, shaking the pan occasionally, until tender and slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Peel the garlic and remove the seeds from the cooked jalapeño, if desired. Transfer all of the ingredients to a food processor and purée until smooth. Roughly chop half the cilantro (including the stems), transfer to the food processor and pulse to combine.
• Wipe out the skillet, add the chorizo and cook over medium heat, breaking up with the back of a spoon, until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Return the tomatillo mixture to the skillet along with the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add the chips and gently turn to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle the cheese on top; bake until the cheese is bubbling and melted and the chips are starting to crisp,12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pick the remaining cilantro leaves and transfer to a medium bowl. Very thinly slice the remaining jalapeño and add to the bowl. Add the radishes, avocado, and lime juice and gently toss to combine. Spoon over the finished chilaquiles and top with the crispy chorizo.

CHILAQUILES CON CHORIZO

Steps:

• To prepare the sauce, combine tomatillos, chiles, chopped onion, garlic, broth and whipping cream in a medium saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes. (In a pinch, I've substituted the whipping cream for equal parts milk and sour cream.) Add cilantro, salt and pepper. Puree in blender. I like mine to have a little bit of texture.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut tortillas into sixths. Add 1/2 inch of oil to skillet over medium heat. Fry tortillas until chewy, but not as crispy as you would for chips. Drain on paper towels.
• Create a layer of tortillas in a shallow baking dish. Top with half the sauce, chorizo, onion and cheese. Add remaining sauce. Bake 20-25 minutes until the dish is gooey. Serve piping hot with crema as garnish.

CHORIZO CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Heat veggie oil in a saucepan or skillet with high sides.
• Fry tortilla strips in small batches until crispy but not too brown.
• Let strips dry on a paper towel-covered plate.
• Brown chorizo in a frying pan with the chopped pepper, onion and garlic. When cooked through, let chorizo and veggies drain on another paper towel-covered plate.
• Wipe down the frying pan and use it to scramble eggs (adding a little oil or Pam to the pan). When they're almost set, add the chorizo and veggies back in, and mix in the tortilla strips. Add about a cup of salsa/chili until the tortilla chips become less crispy and more chewy.
• When everything is well mixed, it's ready to be served! I add additional salsa/chili on top and garnish with queso fresco and cilantro.
