How to Make Chilaquiles Recipe:
- Fried tortillas. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add about a quarter of the tortilla slices and cook, turning once, until light brown and crispy.
- Drain the tortilla chips. Drain freshly fried tortilla chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a little with salt. Repeat this process until all of the tortillas are fried, adding more oil if needed.
- Make salsa Roja. Place the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and garlic into a blender or food processor equipped with a knife. Pour in 1 cup broth. Blend until smooth.
- Cook salsa. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the salsa and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes (the consistency of the salsa will vary depending on the size and juiciness of the tomatoes). Add bonus stock to thin the salsa, if needed. Taste and season with salt as needed.
- Coat the chips with salsa. Add the tortilla chips and stir carefully to coat the chips. Cook until the tortillas are heated through, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt as needed.
- Prepare warm. Serve warm with a garnish of avocado or guacamole, crema, queso fresco, and/or a fried egg, if desired.
