Chilaquiles with chicken and fried eggs topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 6 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 1 jalapeño, halved lengthwise (remove seeds to reduce heat)
- 1 white onion, cut into 4 pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil + extra for frying
- 12 corn tortillas, cut into 8 triangles
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons ground ancho pepper
- 1 bunch of cilantro (leaves separated from stems)
- 1 grilled chicken, skin removed, meat shredded
- 1 cup lightly salted chicken broth
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 tbsp. grated cotija cheese
- 6 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup Mexican or regular sour cream (optional)
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to broil. Place the tomatoes and jalapeños, cut-side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet. Add the onion and garlic and broil until the vegetables are blackened, 7-10 minutes. Peel the garlic.
- Meanwhile, heat about 1 cm of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F) on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry the tortillas, a few at a time, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to remove excess oil; lightly season the hot tortillas with salt.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a blender along with the roasted vegetables, oregano, chili powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and cilantro stems. Puree until smooth.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the puree and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 8-10 minutes. Partially cover the pan if the sauce starts to splatter. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken and broth and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the tortillas and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Keep the chilaquiles warm while you fry the eggs.
- Divide the chilaquiles among plates. Top with an omelet and sprinkle with cheese, radish slices, and cilantro leaves. Drizzle with sour cream, if desired.
