Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 10 medium tomatillos
- 2 medium jalapeños
- 0.5 medium white onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium avocado
- 4 pieces radish
- 0.25 cup vegan sour cream
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the corn tortillas into quarters. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Lightly brush with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Bake the tortilla chips in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the tomatillos are soft.
Drain the cooked vegetables and place them in a blender. Add white onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and vegetable broth. Blend until smooth.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour the blended sauce into the skillet and season with salt.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the baked tortilla chips into the skillet with the salsa verde and gently toss them until they are well-coated.
Slice the avocado and radishes thinly for garnish.
Serve the chilaquiles hot on individual plates, topped with slices of avocado and radish, dollops of vegan sour cream, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.
