Chilaquiles Rojos

Authentic Mexican Recipe

Why you'll love it:

Chilaquiles Rojos with deep, bold flavors! They’re crispy corn tortillas, smothered in a tomato & chiles sauce topped with Mexican crema and queso fresco.

CLASSIC & DELICIOUS! 

What you need:

Roma tomatoes, onion, guajillo chiles

Chile de arbol, garlic cloves

Chicken or vegetable bullion, kosher salt, dried oregano and black pepper

Add two cups of water, chiles, tomatoes, onion & garlic. Over medium-high heat, bring the water to a soft boil, then lower heat to medium-low.

1

Boil

Blend

In a blender, add one cup of the cooking water, the chiles, tomatoes, onion, garlic, bullion, plus all of the spices. Puree until everything is pureed well.

2

Cook

Add one tablespoon oil to a saucepan/skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the tomato/chile puree (careful, it will sizzle!).

3

Stir

 In the saucepan where the sauce is cooking, stir in the tortilla chips, and fold until the tortilla is coated with the sauce. Remove from heat.

4

Ready

Serve immediately so that the tortillas chips don’t become too soggy. They will soften up fast!

5

Serve

Served along a sunny side up egg is an another common option. Chilaquiles must always be served with refried beans!
