My good friend Jess came up with a dead simple but utterly crave-able version of chilaquiles using tomatillo salsa and tortilla chips. Chicken breasts are poached in store-bought salsa verde (also labeled tomatillo salsa), then are shredded and added back into the salsa mixture, along with sautéed onion and garlic. Just before serving, tortilla chips are folded in, creating a delicious textural tango—it’s warm and spicy yet bright and crunchy. The chilaquiles get topped with all the fixings (I go big with cilantro, scallions, avocado slices, cheese and sour cream). This version is more stew-like than traditional chilaquiles, making it a satisfying meal any time of day. Don’t season the chicken or onion with salt, as there’s plenty of salt in the salsa (I also prefer to use low-salt or salt-free tortilla chips). To take the chilaquiles over the top, add a fried egg on top!
Use your vegetable and chicken scraps to make a rich, low-salt homemade stock for the base of all your soups.
