Let’s Cook
1. Roast the Peppers
Preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the peppers and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, tossing to coat evenly.
Roast 20–25 minutes, until skins are blistered and charred.
Flip the peppers and roast 5 more minutes.
Transfer the hot peppers to a sealed zip-top bag and let steam 10–15 minutes.
2. Peel and Blend the Green Chile
Remove peppers from the bag and peel away the charred skins.
Remove seeds and membranes (leave some if you prefer more heat).
Place peeled peppers in a blender with:
-
garlic cloves
-
1–2 cups chicken broth
-
1 tsp salt
Blend until smooth.
3. Finish the Green Chile Sauce
Pour the blended chile mixture into a pot.
Add:
-
remaining chicken broth
-
fire-roasted diced tomatoes
Simmer 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust salt as needed. Can make ahead of time to save time.
4. Cook the Chorizo
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and fully cooked.
Stir the cooked chorizo directly into the simmering green chile sauce.
Let simmer 5 minutes to combine flavors.
5. Prepare the Chilaquiles
Add tortilla chips to a large skillet or pan.
Pour the chorizo green chile sauce over the chips and gently toss until evenly coated.
Cook 2–3 minutes, just until the chips soften slightly but still hold texture.
6. Fry the Eggs
In a separate skillet heat oil or butter over medium heat.
Crack eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set and the yolks remain runny (over easy).
7. Assemble the Dish
Divide the chilaquiles between bowls or plates.
Top each portion with:
-
an over-easy egg
-
sliced avocado
-
diced tomatoes
-
diced white onion
-
fresh cilantro
-
green onions
-
crumbled queso fresco
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
