Chilaquiles

By: Brianna A.

Description:
Time:	20 min (10 min to prepare, 10 min to cook)
Meal type:	Snack
Ethnicity:	American
Number of Servings:	4
Ingredients:
0.5 each an onion, serrano or yellow chiles, pepper and salt 5 each garlic cloves
Directions:
I have two ways of making chilaquiles: When I have the time, I get some dried red chiles (pasilla or whatever) boil them in some water with about 5 garlic cloves, half an onion, serrano or yellow chiles, pepper and salt, for about 10 minutes or until soft. Then I blend it all, and strain. Put this sauce aside. Heat up a pan, then add a good amount of oil, and add torn or cut tortilla strips to fry. I can't exactly remember how many I put in, it's all to the "eye". After you toss and turn and they are nice and golden, put them in a container and set aside. In the same pan fry some onions and maybe some more chiles. Then put in a block of crumbled tofu and cook for a bit. Add cumin, oregano, pepper, salt and other spices to improve the bland tofu flavor. When the water is almost boiled out add the the blended chile sauce, cook for a bit and add the tortillas at the last minute (so they don't get soggy). Serve and enjoy. The lazy way is to not make the chile sauce and just add a can of tomato sauce to the tofu and onions frying in the pan, then add the tortillas. It's not authentic but it's still quite good. It's all in the spices.
