Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from chipotle can)
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup cotija cheese
- 0.5 piece red onion
- 1 piece avocado
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 piece lime
Instructions
Cut the corn tortillas into triangles or strips. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortilla pieces in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove them and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a blender, combine the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, garlic cloves, and salt. Blend until you have a smooth sauce.
Pour out the oil from the skillet and wipe it clean. Return the skillet to medium heat and pour in the chipotle sauce. Bring it to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the crispy tortilla chips into the skillet with the sauce. Stir gently to coat the tortillas evenly without breaking them too much. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tortillas have softened slightly but still retain some crunch.
Top the chilaquiles with dollops of sour cream, crumbled cotija cheese, thinly sliced red onion, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy!
