Chilaquiles Verdes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas, cut into triangles
- 2 cups of green salsa
- 1/2 cup of chicken broth
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of crumbled queso fresco
- 1/4 cup of Mexican crema
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped white onion
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In the same skillet, pour in 2 cups of green salsa and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the fried tortilla triangles to the skillet with the green salsa and gently toss to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tortillas have softened slightly but are still crispy.
- Divide the chilaquiles among serving plates and top with crumbled queso fresco, Mexican crema, sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and chopped white onion.
- Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
Chilaquiles Verdes is a traditional Mexican dish with a rich history dating back to the ancient Aztecs. This flavorful dish consists of crispy tortilla chips smothered in a tangy green salsa, topped with crema, queso fresco, and sometimes shredded chicken or eggs. The dish is believed to have originated in central Mexico, where it was a popular breakfast or brunch item. Today, it can be found in many Mexican restaurants worldwide, but the best versions are often found in the regions of Puebla and Oaxaca, where talented chefs add their own unique twists to the classic recipe. The key to perfect chilaquiles verdes lies in the quality of the salsa verde, which should be made with fresh tomatillos, cilantro, and green chilies for an authentic flavor. Some chefs also incorporate epazote, a traditional Mexican herb, for an extra layer of complexity. While the traditional method involves frying the tortilla chips, a healthier alternative is to bake them for a lighter, yet equally delicious version. Whether enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or any time of day, chilaquiles verdes is a beloved dish that continues to delight food enthusiasts around the world.
