Ingredients
Method
For the chips
- Slice each of the tortillas into 6 wedges and set aside.
- Pour the oil in a large cast iron skillet and heat to 360°F. Working in batches, Add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Transfer the finished chips to a plate lined with paper towel and sprinkle with salt.
- Once all the chips are fried and salted, set them aside to cool completely.
For the Chilaquiles
- Heat a quarter-sized amount of olive oil in a large, deep skillet until shimmering. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Throw in the garlic and jalapeños and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes more.
- Pour in the beer and deglaze the pan. Bring the beer up to a boil and add the canned tomatoes with their juices, the tomatillos, chipotle peppers, the cumin, and the coriander seed to the skillet. Give the mixture a quick stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the simmered sauce to a large food processor and blitz until smooth. Set aside.
- Wipe out the skillet and add another quarter-sized amount of olive oil to it. Heat the oil until shimmering. Add the chorizo and saute until browned.
- Pour the pureed sauce over the chorizo and stir to combine. Bring the mixture back up to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
- Add the chips to the sauce and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle the chips with cheese and cover the skillet to melt. Once the cheese has melted, remove the chilaquiles from the heat.
- While the cheese is melting fry the eggs and place on top of the finished chilaquiles. Top the chilaquiles with cilantro, avocado, and pickled red onions.
- Serve immediately with a side of lime wedges and a couple of breakfast beers.
