In this step-by-step guide, we will teach you how to make red chilaquiles for a mouthwatering breakfast experience.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cups of tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 cups of tortilla chips
  • ¼ cup crumbled queso fresco
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 avocados, sliced

Step 1: Prepare the Red Sauce

In a large saucepan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until they are softened and fragrant.

Add the tomato sauce, minced chipotle peppers, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pan and stir well to combine all the flavors. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 2: Fry the Tortilla Chips

In a separate frying pan, heat a shallow layer of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tortilla chips to the pan in small batches, frying them until they are crispy and golden brown.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
