Chilaquiles Recipes

What is Chilaquiles you ask?  While they don’t look like it I think they taste just like cheese enchiladas.  I prefer to describe them as a NEW way of making nachos.  Either way you are going to love these.

Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 small corn tortillas
1 cup mild enchilada sauce
2 ounces whole green chilies
1 to 1-1/2 cups Mexican cheese blend, shredded

Instructions

1. Pour oil into a medium skillet.
2. Heat oil on medium high heat.
3. Cut tortillas into 4 wedges (like tortillas chips)
4. In a small saucepan heat the enchilada sauce and chilies.
5. Once oil is hot enough to fry the tortillas, add 5 pieces at a time.
6. Fry only a few seconds on each side. (like when frying a tortilla for tacos)
7. Place on a plate lined with paper towels.
8. Do this in several batches, adding a new paper towel to soak up any extra oil.
9. Place fried tortilla pieces into a bowl, add some of the enchilada sauce. (enough to coat the tortilla pieces)
