Dinner Tonight: Chilaquiles Rojos Recipe
- 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
- 3 jalapenos, stemmed and chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lard or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 7 ounces corn tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup leftover chicken
- 2 tablespoons Mexican queso fresco, crumbled
- 1/2 onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Handful of cilantro
- Start with making the sauce. Add the tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, and garlic to a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.
- Heat the lard in a skillet set over medium-high. When it's hot dump in tomato chile sauce. It will splatter a little bit, but that's okay. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn the heat to low and season with salt.
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, and stir until combined. Then add the tortilla chips. Stir until covered with the sauce, then cover and let cook for about 5 minutes. They should be soft but not mushy.
- Warm leftover chicken up in a pot or in the microwave.
- Assemble the plate. Spoon some of the tortilla mixture onto a plate. Top with the thinly sliced onions, queso fresco, sour cream, and cilantro. Serve.
