Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups Tortilla Chips
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 1 can Black Beans
- 3 Eggs
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 can Tomato Sauce
- 1 can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
- 1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Yellow Onion, diced
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Garnishes
- Queso Fresco, crumbled, to taste
- Fresh Cilantro, chopped, to taste
- Radish, thinly sliced, to taste
- Jalapeño Pepper, sliced, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced yellow onion and minced garlic, then season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Sauté for a few minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Prepare Tomato Sauce: Stir in the tomato sauce, fire roasted diced tomatoes, and one chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce into the skillet with the sautéed onion and garlic. Cook for several more minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend the flavors and heat the sauce through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Assemble Chilaquiles Base: In a large skillet or serving tray, spread out the tortilla chips evenly. Evenly sprinkle the cooked quinoa and drained black beans over the chips. Pour the warm tomato-chipotle sauce over the mixture, gently tossing to coat all the chips and ingredients evenly with sauce.
- Garnish and Add Toppings: Top the sauced chilaquiles with crumbled queso fresco, fresh cilantro, thinly sliced radish, and jalapeño slices according to your taste preferences. These fresh garnishes add brightness and texture to the dish.
- Cook and Add Fried Eggs: In a separate pan, fry the eggs sunny side up (or to your preferred doneness). Place the fried eggs on top of the chilaquiles just before serving, allowing the yolks to add richness to each bite.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, add more chipotle peppers or jalapeño slices.
- You can substitute black beans with pinto beans or any other preferred bean variety.
- To make this dish vegetarian and gluten-free, ensure the tortilla chips are made from corn without added wheat ingredients.
- Use fresh or canned tomatoes depending on availability but fire roasted tomatoes add a nice smoky flavor.
- Leftover chilaquiles can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the oven to maintain crispiness.
