Vegetarian Chilaquiles Food

CHILAQUILES WITH CORN AND BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Combine the tomatoes, salsa, garlic and jalapeño in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Heat a large nonstick broiler-proof skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the bell pepper and cook until the edges just begin to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the black beans and corn and cook, tossing, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
• Heat the empty skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomato mixture and cook until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 cup water to the blender and swirl it around; set aside.
• Add the chips to the skillet and stir, adding the water from the blender as needed to moisten. Scatter the vegetable-bean mixture over the top. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and broil until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with the avocado, cilantro and cheese.

VEGETARIAN CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Pour the oil into skillet and heat until very hot, but not smoking. Add tortilla triangles and fry, stirring constantly, until brown and crisp (about 3-4 minutes).
• Pour in the salsa (carefully as it will bubble up) and cook, stirring, until the tortillas soak up most of the salsa (about 1 minute). Add the beans and stir to heat.
• With a wooden spoon, move the tortilla and salsa mixture over to one half of the pan, and lower the heat.
• Pour the eggs into the empty side of the pan, and cook, stirring, until they are about halfway set.
• Stir the eggs into the tortilla salsa mixture and cook until the eggs are just set.
• To serve: Divide the chilequiles among two plates and top with your garnishes of choice.
