Spicy, traditional, Mexican comfort food that's incredibly quick and easy to make. I paired this with some refried beans and an over easy egg for a quick meal. Delicious!
Ingredients
Salsa Verde:
1 Tbsp olive oil
1½ lb tomatillos, husks removed
1 onion, cut into large chunks
½ cup cilantro leaves
juice of 1 lime
½ tsp sugar
1-2 jalapeño peppers
Chilaquiles:
6 oz corn tortilla chips
2 oz cotija cheese, crumbled
½ cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Once hot, add the tomatillos and saute for 5-7 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add the onion and cook an additional 3-5 minutes. Transfer the tomatillos and onion to a blender and add remaining salsa ingredients; puree until smooth.
Return salsa to the pan used to saute the tomatillos; heat until simmering over medium heat. Add the tortilla chips and turn every 1-2 minutes or until softened and well coated. Serve hot with cojita and cilantro.
