A vibrant and comforting Mexican dish featuring crispy tortilla chips in a zesty tomatillo sauce garnished with fresh toppings.

Ingredients

  • Tortilla chips
  • Tomatillos
  • Jalapeños
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Cilantro
  • Chicken or vegetable broth
  • Cheese (such as queso fresco)
  • Sour cream
  • Avocado
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by making the green salsa: In a pot, combine tomatillos, jalapeños, chopped onion, and garlic. Add enough chicken or vegetable broth to cover the vegetables and simmer until the tomatillos are soft.
  2. Blend the mixture until smooth, and stir in chopped cilantro, letting those flavors mingle and develop.
  3. Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet and add the tortilla chips to fry until slightly crispy; this step makes all the difference in texture!
  4. Pour the green salsa over the chips and mix well, ensuring every piece gets coated in that vibrant goodness.
  5. Allow the chips to absorb the salsa for a couple of minutes. This is where the magic happens—the chips soften just enough to meld with the salsa without turning into mush.
  6. Serve topped with crumbled cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocado, and if desired, additional cilantro for that fresh finish.

Notes

For optimal flavor, use ripe tomatillos. Leftover chilaquiles can be stored separately for chips and salsa in an airtight container for up to two days.
