The 5 minute Mexican breakfast everyone should know how to make.

Chilaquiles are quite literally soggy tortilla chips, but hot damn, are they soggy tortilla chips in all the right ways.

    Mexican here: this is one of those dishes you can't do wrong if you stick to traditional Mexican ingredients. Adjust the proportions to your tastes in anyway you want, pick and choose the chillies, add some meat or chicken, make it fancy, make it sloppy, make it green with tomatillos and cilantro; it's going to work. If you want to develop a taste for Mexican food this is your blank template for experimentation and discovery.

    @@ChaosTherum You think so? Most people in America have never even had French food. Everybody's had "Chinese" food and "Mexican" food. I put those in quotes because both cuisines have been Americanized like a mf. Real Chinese and Mexican food is a different story. You don't really see authentic Mexican or Chinese restaurants unless you're in a predominantly Chinese or Hispanic community. (I didn't single out Mexicans because they move around other Spanish speakers a lot, so you could potentially find authentic Mexican food even if they ain't the majority Hispanic population).

    The French in particular have a system of cooking that is literally regimented, as in their kitchen culture came from their military culture. Because of that, its easier to point and proclaim "your doing it wrong!" In the US both Mexican and Chinese immigrants faced discrimination that forced them out of some kinds of work, but left restaurants as an option. Catering to others in a new land probably led to being flexible with ingredients and methods. I think Italians went through a similar process. Pizza is so incredibly popular, but it hardly resembles the original Italian version, and its such a small part of overalll Italian cuisine. I've only been to one restaurant that Italian, rather than a pizza joint, and everything I ate there was foreign to the point of being unpleasant, but that was my own personal problem.

    Mexican tip here: If you're too lazy to use a broiler/oven, just do something we call "tatemado", which is placing the veggies on a burning hot plain surface until it becames almost burned, trust me, it will develop a deep, smokey, intense flavour, or if you're extra lazy just cook the tomatoes in water, you can leave them there for long enough, no need to do the concassé cut. You can also do the same with them chiles, but if you want it less spicy just remove the seeds and the veins (i suggest that you use a blend of pasilla, guajillo and arbol)

I was using beef broth, tomatoes as liquid and had it all seasoned with chipotle chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. The liquid left over from the shredded beef is actually amazing to use in the same way to soak the chips. I love both the salsa he makes with tomatoes and this new way I "discovered". Thanks for opening my eyes and getting my creative juices flowing.

Yes, no tortilla chips, but it's basically polenta + some tomato sauce (my family adds hot pepper paste) with various types of meat inside (mostly pork and smoked sausages), a fried egg and some cheese on top (and here sadly it's stuck to a local cheese called "telemea" really similar to feta). I think that adding some smoked sausage on that fried egg would add some nice extra stuff on that chilaquiles. :D

    I always charr/burn my ingredients when I make salsas. I prefer the taste as opposed to fresh or lightly charred. It gives it different elements of flavor.

    My absolute favorite breakfast ever. My mom makes it for me whenever I visit her. She always makes her salsa from scratch that morning and always uses yellow corn tortillas because they remain super crispy even after they sit in the salsa. I have never been able to replicate her salsa, so at home I will make them with whatever salsa I have in my fridge, including enchilada sauce. You just can't go wrong with them.

    It's true! I've eaten this in restaurants before, but there's no place around here that does that. Years later I ended up with some tortillas that were going stale, and realized that the time had finally come. Hey, what do you know? It's bachelor cooking, a few cheap ingredients, it's not hard to make, it wouldn't be easy to burn it, for example. I liked my "home" version better than the restaurant one! It's not that hard to fry those old tortillas. I fried them way too much the first time, and it still worked! This is about the cheapest thing you could make that would still be any good, and also could be vegetarian.

    I may touch on this in a video about healthy eating! In general, without just eating more food, I like to add a bit more fat. Things like using thighs instead of breast, or higher fat cuts of steak, add an extra tbsp of oil for roasted vegetables (or soups, salads, etc), use whole fat dairy products. Definitely a lot of variety.

    You can pull the pork from the chunk of carnitas and fry the chopped bits (maybe quarter inch) until they become salty and crispy. You can then stir maybe a half a cup into the hot tomato or tomatillo sauce just before adding the tortillas.

    He's not counting the salsa because that's one of the most versatile salsas out there. You can use it also as a base for enchiladas, you can use it for tacos, just on eggs by themselves, or - in the chilaquiles. Anything can be 5 minutes if you don't count certain things, but that also works the other way: it's an exaggeration but if I included the time to churn my own butter in a fried egg recipe it would be ridiculous, as well.

    It's a 5 minute dish because everything can be made long in advance. Make a big pot of salsa at the beginning of the month and you can make this dish in 5 minutes any time you want, that's the whole point. You don't count the time it took to make the cheese and the tortillas when you're making a "5-minute quesadilla", do you? You don't count the time it took to go out to the store and buy them. You don't count the time it took to go to work and earn the money they cost. If you keep broadening your definition of cook time, you could easily argue that your entire life has all been preparation for this one dish.
