Do you love nachos with sour cream, cheese and guacamole when you're sitting on a terrace? Then you will also love this dish! Chilaquiles are originally a breakfast dish, but are also delicious to serve as a snack or side dish. There are many variations of this dish in Mexico. In some areas they want the tortilla chips to remain crispy, while Mexicans from another area think completely differently about this. There is also a variety of different tomato and cream sauces in the country. The recipe for chilaquiles that we received from the Mexican Daniela is with pulled chicken, a delicious tomato sauce and a fried egg. Do you prefer a vegetarian diet? Then you can replace the chicken with jackfruit, as suggested in the Tinga Tostadas recipe .
Preparation
Preparation:
Boil the chicken fillets for 30 minutes in water with 1 garlic clove and salt
Step 1: Prepare the sauce
Cut the tomatoes into quarters, cut half the onion into half rings and finely chop the remaining garlic cloves and jalapeno.
Heat some olive oil in a pan and let it get hot.
Add the tomato, jalapeno, garlic and onion until it starts to brown.
Add a stock cube and 250 ml of water and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Blend the mixture in a blender until smooth.
Return the sauce to a pan, bring to the boil and season with salt and pepper
Step 2: Prepare the toppings
Remove the chicken fillets from the pan and make 'pulled chicken' by pulling them apart with a fork.
Crumble the feta
Cut the remaining onion into half rings
Fry a fried egg
Step 3: Make the chilaquiles
Add a large handful of totopos or tortillas to the sauce, let them soak for a while and place them on a plate. Then add some extra sauce and then the toppings: sour cream, onion, feta, pulled chicken and the fried egg.
