A standard Mexican breakfast, chilaquiles (chee-lah-KEE-lays) turn yesterday's unused tortillas into a tasty base for an assortment of possible toppings. The cook cuts or tears the tortilla into strips (corn being traditional but flour an acceptable option if you prefer), then fries them in oil until they turn slightly brown and crispy. The word chilaquiles comes from the Nahuatl language, meaning chilis and greens. At its most basic, chilaquiles consist of fried corn tortilla chips simmered in a brothy sauce.

Instructions to make Chilaquiles:

1. (Sauce may be prepped the day before). Combine tomatoes and chilis into blender and blend until almost smooth. In a large container, combine this mixture with corn, chopped mushrooms, and a pinch of the garlic and onions. Set aside.
2. Note: For the chicken, I used my pressure cooker (set to poultry) and cooked it for 45 min. This way I get even cooked chicken I can easily shred it and get some amazing stock, but you may prep the chicken however you like.
3. In a pressure/slow cooker, combine chicken, broth, and adobo seasoning and cook. Salt & pepper to taste. After cooking, separate meat from remaining stock. Save stock for later.
4. The next steps will require you to judge portions based on cookware size and desired portions.
5. Add oil to skillet. Cook onions until edges are slightly brown. Throw in garlic and cook for 1 min.
6. Pour sauce mix onto skillet and bring to a simmer. Add saved chicken stock if available (or add original stock). Cook for 5 min, occasionally stirring, until sauce starts to thicken.
7. Remove from heat and add chicken. Mix and allow to cool for 3-5 min. Note: I learned that allowing the food to cool let the chicken absorb more of the sauce and prevented the tortilla chips from getting too soggy too quickly when added.
8. Add cheese and tortilla chips and mix, carefully covering all the chips.
9. Top with cilantro and serve immediately.
