My recipe for a Mexican dish Chilaquiles
Papi’s Chilaquiles
20 white corn tortillas
1 lb tomatillos
1 TBS of dried cumin
2 tsp of dried mexican oregano
2-3 garlic cloves
2 onions
2 chile serranos
Chicken broth
2 TB of sugar
Canola oil
Sweet Mexican cream
Monterrey Jack Cheese
1 med to lg saucepan
1 deep frying pan
1 casserole dish
Sauce
Peel and wash the tomatillos and place them in a blender
Peel and half one onion and place half in the blender
Peel the two garlic cloves and place them in blender
Prepare two cups of chicken broth (I prefer Knorr Suiza) and place in the blender
Chop the ends off the chiles and if you want less spicy, seed and devein one of them. Place in blender
Add the 2 TBS of sugar, the cumin and oregano (You may use a little less cumin if you like, the oregano is basic.)
Liquefy the mixture at least for three minutes in the blender. It should be consistent and smooth.
While that is blending, heat 2-3 TB of canola oil in lg saucepan. It should be very hot (almost, but not quite smoking)
When the blending is finished, add the sauce to the pan (Be careful here, this will sizzle and pop like crazy) Searing the sauce makes the flavors jump
Bring the mixture to a boil and let simmer while you prepare the tortillas
The tortillas
Quarter or eighth the 20 tortillas
Prepare a deep frying pan with a thin layer of canola oil.
Fry the tortilla pieces until they are crisp and have browned some. Do not overfill the pan and add oil as necessary in the batches. (Frying the tortillas is very necessary in order that they NOT fall apart in cooking.)
When all the pieces are fried place them all back in the frying pan.

(You can do the next step by adding the tortillas to the sauce in the saucepan if you have used a larger one, or don’t have a deep frying pan.)
Add the tomatillo sauce to the tortillas (or vice versa) and turn the heat down.
The next step is tricky and needs to be learned with experience
Let the mixture simmer only long enough that most of the sauce has soaked into the tortillas. They should be soaked through, but there should be some sauce left over. Turn it off when it gets to this point.
Baking
Spray Pam in an 8-10 in casserole dish. It should be 6in deep or so
Add half of the tomatillo-tortilla mixture to the dish
Slice the other half of the onion into rings and place several on top of this mixture
Add a layer of Monterrey Jack Cheese
Add the remaining tomatillo-tortilla mixture
Place several onion rings on top of this. And cover the casserole
Bake in a 375 deg oven for about 20 minutes (Again, watch this. It should be slightly bubbly on the sides, but not dried out. If it takes less time to do this skip to next line)
Remove the top and grate more cheese on the dish.
Pop it back in the oven without the top only long enough to melt the top cheese.
Serving
Have more thin onion rings on the table with the cream
Serve the casserole hot from the oven
Allow people to place their own amount of onions and cream on top
I personally like a fried egg on mine, placed on top after the onions and cream
This recipe is guaranteed to feed four to five but I wouldn’t push it.
Eating and Misc. comments
Some would disagree with this Chilaquiles recipe. Actually, chilaquile recipes are like Mexican mothers, everyone has one. Eating should be done slowly with a good cup of Chiapineco coffee. Family and friends should share the meal. There should be laughter. The kitchen should smell of cumin, oregano, tomatillos and fried tortillas. If it doesn’t smell this way you have not followed the recipe.

I toasted croutons for the potato soup and I burned the french bread croutons under the broiler. Had too many things going at once. Ah well...the bread was unnecessary... :)
