Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 can Cooking spray
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 pieces White onion
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup Crumbled queso fresco
- 2 tablespoons Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 pieces Avocado (optional)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the corn tortillas into triangular chips and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tortilla triangles with cooking spray and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crisp, flipping halfway through. Set aside.
While the tortilla chips bake, prepare the salsa. Over medium heat, roast the Roma tomatoes, garlic cloves, onion half, and jalapeño in a dry skillet until charred in spots, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add the broth, salt, and black pepper, then blend until smooth.
Pour the blended salsa into a large skillet or saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the baked tortilla chips, ensuring they are evenly coated in the salsa. Allow the chips to soak for 2-3 minutes, but do not let them become overly soft.
Divide the chilaquiles among plates and top each serving with a sprinkle of cilantro, a bit of crumbled queso fresco, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
If desired, add sliced avocado on top and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
