Ingredients

Scale

Chilaquiles 

  • 500ml Passata
  • 250ml chicken stock
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Pinch sugar
  • Fresh or dried red chilli
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • Sea salt flakes and pepper
  • 250g cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 eggs
  • 300g tortilla chips

Garnish

  • White onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh or jarred jalapeño slices
  • Sour cream
  • Handful coriander leaves
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare garnishes of white onion, jalapeños, sour cream and lime wedges. Set aside.
  2. Combine passata, chicken stock, oregano, powdered onion and garlic, vinegar, sugar and chili in a pan and over medium heat cook through for 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, combine and cook a further 1 minute. Remove from heat, taste and season with salt and pepper as needed (sauce should not be too thick. Add a little water to loosen if this happens)
  3. Whilst the sauce is cooling heat another frying pan with oil and when very hot, crack in eggs. Fry until edges are crispy, do not flip. Season with sea salt flakes or this smoke salt.
  4. To serve. Stir tortilla chips through tomato chicken sauce so they are nicely coated. To avoid them becoming soggy, immediately divide them between two bowls. Top with fried eggs, onion slices, jalapeños, sour cream and coriander. Serve with a side of lime wedges and extra chilli.
