Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Chicken Enchilada Chilaquiles

Chicken Enchilada Chilaquiles

Chicken enchilada sauce with corn and beans tossed with crispy tortilla tips and topped with onions, cheese, crema, avocado and eggs; a tasty and satisfying breakfast!

It’s time for another quick and easy chicken dinner, chicken enchilada chilaquiles! Chilaquiles is a Mexican dish where tortillas are fried until golden brown and crispy before being tossed in salsa and cooked until they start to soften and optionally topped with things like cheese and crema. I like to kick chilaquiles up a notch, making them even more hearty, with the flavours of chicken enchiladas, starting with an enchilada sauce, as the salsa, to which I add shredded chicken, corn and black beans. From there I top the chicken enchilada chilaquiles with onions, cheese, crema, avocado, cilantro and even a fried egg! Of course you can top these chicken enchilada chilaquiles with your favourite chicken enchilada toppings and I won’t tell anyone if you enjoy them for breakfast, dinner or even a late night snack!

    Love-love-loved this easy to prepare dish! I used a green enchilada sauce and made it for Father's Day brunch. He so enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
