Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 pieces medium tomatoes
- 1 medium white onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 piece chipotle chili in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup queso fresco or feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 piece sliced avocado
- 2 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Cut the corn tortillas into triangular wedges.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the tortilla triangles in batches until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a blender, combine the tomatoes, chipotle chili, chicken broth, garlic, and 1/2 of the chopped onion. Blend until smooth.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce mixture and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Season with salt and black pepper.
Gently stir the black beans and shredded chicken into the tomato sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
Reduce the heat to low and add the fried tortilla chips to the sauce. Toss gently to coat the chips, ensuring they are evenly covered but not soggy.
Transfer the chilaquiles to serving plates and top with crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and avocado slices.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
