How To Make Chilaquiles with Gabriela Cámara of Contramar
Ойын-сауық
Gabriela Cámara, chef at Contramar and Cala, as well as the Mexican’s president food policy advisor, makes Chilaquiles in the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen. This comforting Mexican dish of freshly-fried tortilla chips doused with homemade salsa verde, avocado, and fried eggs works perfectly for any meal.

Love the authenticity. This similar to how my mom makes them but she actually puts the tortilla chip in the sauce and let it boil. It makes the tortilla soft but the top layer is crunchy so you have different textures. For the sauce she also adds chicken bouillon and epazote for flavor.
It's cool that she explained how she was handling her mistake and that the editors left that all in. I'm so stoked for new cooks having so much great content to learn from 😎

The most amazing thing about Mexican food is that the same dish changes from one region to another. I'm from Tabasco and with her salsa I was like "WAIT what?, ain't you gonna fry it?" We make it thicker thou but I bet it tastes amazing
I remember my first day at the Japanese restaurant I’ve worked for five years and my chef using tomatillos and tortillas bought by some servers to make chilaquiles for family meal on a sheet pan roasted in our combi. The entire time he kept telling me, “you’re gonna love me, you’re gonna love me after this, you’re gonna love me.” You put verde, tortillas and eggs in front of me and I will follow you to my death.
I had this after a night of drinking and it was maybe the greatest thing I've ever tasted
so does no one else roast the tomatillos first for the salsa and add less water so that it’s thicker

I guess it depends on the region. I add more spices, epazote, comino, pimienta and a little bit of oregano. I also add a cucharada de manteca before I simmer the salsa. Pork lard enhances the flavor. That's just me tho. Whatever.

Thank you for the recipe.. your recipe looks amazing. I’ve tried to make Chilaquiles on several occasions, loosely following random recipes, Using whatever green sauce in a bottle I could find. I grew up eating mostly Mexican food in Chicago, and even though I’m Italian, I think Mexican is my favorite food (except maybe for Chicago pizza).

So if you want it to taste significantly better than hers, you'd roast the tomatillo serrano and garlic (with cumin seeds and olive oil), use excess cilantro including more stem (it's getting blended, doh), do not heat the onion before puree (boiling may be the worst thing to do to it though), and let the chips (her only points) sit in the sauce until they dont go cronch no more. Also rules are plural while is, is singular.

I like her rendition on this classic Mexican dish I grew up on it but it was made thicker and with beans and sometimes even papas it’s different for everyone but still all have that tortilla sauce cheese eggs that’s a for sure!

Concerning the tomatillo, onion, and serranos: could you fry or roast these guys before cooking and blending them? I've seen other recipes that put emphasis on the depth of flavor you can get from a good char, and I'm curious if that applies here as well.

you can do it to, although is a different type of salsa. usually for chilaquiles is just boiled. but theres not a rule for that as long as you put salsa, ream, onion and cheese in thos chips they will be call chilaquiles.

After researching KZread and consulting various abuelitas, I believe there is no wrong way to make chilaquiles, only your own way. My way is to cut my tortillas into thin strips almost like noodles and to cook the egg in el pato sauce.

You don’t want it ‘SOUPY’ ... you want it moist and humid but still crunchy tortillas .
Has anyone heard of chilaquiles described like ravioli? Like the masa is rolled are and 2 are sealed together with a slice of cheese in the cent and that is fried crispy then you add a tomatillo salsa or ranchero salsa and serve like this dish?

Boiling down that salsa is going to be tasty as HELL
I cook everything together. First fry up the tortilla till they are crunchy. Then after that you add some chopped onions. You can choose to cook them till soft or keep them semi raw. Season the chips with Salt,Pepper,Garlic Powder or actually mince a garlic clove in. After all that is fragrant, you add tomato sauce. Preferably the kind that has garlic,oregano and basil already in it. Make sure all the chips have been made red. Then beat 3 eggs and add salt and pepper to them and beat in some oregano also. Then you evenly coat the chips in the egg and cook it all through. This is more for breakfast but its amazing.
YUM! Mooore please

Chiliquiles can have almost any salsa you want infact ive been told in mexico it varies from family or region.
