  • 1 lb chilaquiles
  • a pinch white onion
  • 4 oz fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup lime
  • 2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 cup corn tortillas
  • 3 cloves kosher salt
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the chilaquiles dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the chilaquiles, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
