Chipotle Turkey Chilaquiles Recipes

Steps:

• Coat a large saucepan with olive oil. Toss in the onion, season with salt and bring to medium heat. Cook the onion until soft and very aromatic, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss in the garlic, jalapeno and chorizo and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, breaking up the meat with a spoon.
• Add the chopped cilantro, chipotles, adobo sauce and tomatoes. Season with salt, taste and season again if needed. Stir in 1 cup water, increase the heat to high, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the mixture has a good saucy consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
• While the sauce cooks, fill a large saucepan with about 3 inches of canola oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to about 375 degrees F (or add a slice of tortilla to the oil -- when it sizzles, starts to float and crisps up, it's ready). While the oil heats up, put a couple of paper towels on a baking sheet next to the stove. When the oil is hot, work in batches to fry the tortillas until they are crispy chips. Remove the chips from the oil, drain on the paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss a third of the chips with a third each of the tomato sauce and cheeses. Spread the chip mixture in the bottom of a large ovenproof casserole dish, then top with another third of the chips, sauce and cheeses. Repeat the process with the remaining chips, sauce and cheeses. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
• When the casserole comes out of the oven, coat a large saute pan lightly with olive oil. Add the eggs (you will probably have to work in batches to fry all of them -- no worries) and bring the pan to medium heat. Cook the eggs until the whites are cooked through and the yolks are warm and runny, about 4 minutes. Place the fried eggs on top of the chips. Sprinkle with the whole cilantro leaves. Serve with the lime wedges and crema.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush tortillas on one side with olive oil, then stack them. Cut the stack into 6 or 8 wedges (your preference). Lay in a single layer on two large baking sheets and sprinkle with a little kosher salt. Bake until crisp, turning them over about 3/4 of the way through the cooking time, 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Place tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in the pitcher of a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Set a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 tablespoon olive oil. When hot, pour in the sauce and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbling and darker, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the front and back of the spoon, about 10 minutes more. If the sauce seems too thick (it should be about the consistency of canned tomato sauce), add a splash of water or vegetable broth until it reaches the right consistency.
• Stir in the tortillas. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Spoon onto plates and top with assorted toppings to customize them however you like!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet, over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until soft. Add green chiles, diced tomatoes, leftover turkey and salsa. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with tortilla chips and then cheese. Place skillet in oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately with side of sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet. Add 11/4 cups onion; sauté until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and chiles; sauté 3 minutes. Stir in salsa; simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chips. Sprinkle with cheese. Place skillet in oven; bake just until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup onion and cilantro; drizzle with crema and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/4 cups onion; saute until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and chiles; saute for 3 minutes. Stir in salsa and simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tortilla chips. Sprinkle queso fresco on top.
• Transfer skillet to the oven and bake just until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle remaining onion and cilantro over chilaquiles. Drizzle with crema before serving.

Steps:

• If using the canned chipotle chilies, in a blender purée them with the water and reserve the purée. If using dried chipotle chilies, stem and seed them wearing rubber gloves, in a small bowl let them soak in the boiling-hot water for 20 minutes, and in a blender purée the mixture, reserving the purée.
• In a large heavy kettle cook the onions and 5 of the garlic cloves, minced, in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until the onions are softened, add the cumin, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the turkey and cook the mixture, stirring and breaking up the lumps, until the turkey is no longer pink. Add the reserved chipotle purée, the reserved tomatillo purée, the broth, the bay leaf, the orégano, and the salt and simmer the mixture, uncovered, adding more water if necessary to keep the turkey barely covered, for 1 hour. Stir in the bell pepper, the canned green chilies, and the cornmeal and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in the white beans, the coriander, the remaining 2 garlic cloves, minced, and salt to taste, simmer the chili for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the beans are heated through, and discard the bay leaf. The chili may be frozen or made 3 days in advance, cooled, uncovered, and kept covered and chilled. Serve the chili with the sour cream.
