Ingredients:
- 8 corn tortillas, cut into quarters
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 lb Mexican chorizo, casing removed
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder (or regular chili powder if you can't handle the heat)
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded manchego cheese
- Diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, and chopped cilantro for serving
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Spread the tortilla quarters out on a baking sheet and bake them for 5-7 minutes, or until they're lightly crispy. Set them aside for now.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook it until it's browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes.
- Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and everything smells incredible.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, chipotle chili powder, and cumin. Give it a good stir and let the whole thing simmer for 10 minutes or so to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the crispy tortilla quarters to the skillet and toss them with the chorizo-tomato mixture until they're evenly coated and starting to soften up.
- Sprinkle that glorious manchego cheese over the top and let it melt into the chilaquiles for a minute or two.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and scoop those cheesy, saucy, chorizo-loaded chilaquiles into bowls.
- Top them with diced avocado, crumbled queso fresco, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
