This recipe is the second one from my Muy Bueno cook book spotlight. Myself and another fifteen bloggers were given the opportunity toplaywith this book courtesy of our amazing host, Heather from Girlichef and Hippocrene books.
Check out my first post here for the skinny on the three amazing ladies who form the Muy Bueno cooking blog, which focuses on authentic Mexican cuisine.
I had bookmarked a whole bunch of interesting recipes after I got my hands on a copy, but for this week I decided to make the Chilaquiles Rojos. Why?... because it has a small simple ingredients, easy to make, and looks like it would perform jiu-jitsu on your taste buds!!
Saucy, spicy, crispy, chewy, cheesy are a few words I'd chuck out there to describe it and don't forget it's easy.
It could even be kicked up by adding some ground beef or chicken and a handful of chopped jalapeno's and sliced avocado. The sauce is a little extra work but well worth it and you'll have extra leftover for some enchiladas!
The recipe from the book suggests using a large skillet for four servings so I'd assume maybe a nine inch pan, but since I was the only human at home today I decided to half the recipe.
I used a six inch cast iron skillet and it was a perfect size, and after the pretty pictures were taken I sat my butt down and ate the whole pan for lunch. Veronica, one of the three Muy Bueno ladies describes how she loved having this meal for breakfast and suggests serving with eggs.
I took her advice and plopped an egg on top of the chilaquiles, stuck it under the grill keeping it over easy and it was perfect!
