Salsa Verde Corn Chip Pie Recipe 485

Steps:

• Take corn chips out of bag (or and open bag and leave chips in).
• Place shredded cheese on top. Pour Pinto Beans over the cheese (hot beans help melt the cheese quicker). Sprinkle Brisket on top. Garnish with BBQ Sauce.
• Preheat a smoker or oven for cooking at about 225 degrees F.
• Trim brisket fat on the deckle (large side) just enough to where there is still fat covering the meat. (You do not need to trim the pork butt.) Stir together the pepper, salt, sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Apply the rub to all sides of the meat thoroughly. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place in smoker or oven and let cook until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F, about 12 hours.
• Let sit 30 minutes, then chop meat.
• Cover beans with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil to get the outer layer off. Boil 2 minutes, then drain all water and put beans back in pot. Add water to cover 2 inches above the top of the beans. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, saute the onions, jalapenos and garlic in some oil in another pan until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, then let simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes and add to the bean pot. Add the garlic pepper, chili powder and salt to the bean pot and let simmer, stirring every 20 minutes, until soft, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Mix the ketchup, vinegar, molasses, steak sauce, mustard, Worcestershire, BBQ rub, garlic pepper, black pepper, cinnamon and 3 quarts water in a 5-gallon bucket.

Steps:

• 1. Sauté corn in 3 tsp. hot olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes or until corn begins to char. Remove corn from skillet. 2. Sauté sausage in skillet over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes or until browned. Remove from skillet, and drain on paper towels. 3. Sauté onion in remaining 2 tsp. hot oil in skillet over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in chili powder and cumin; cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in salsa, chiles, and sausage. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, 7 to 8 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; stir in beans, lime juice, and corn. 4. Divide chips among 6 plates. Spoon sausage mixture over chips; top with half of cheese. Serve with toppings and remaining cheese.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the chicken, sour cream and 3/4 cup salsa. Spread 1/4 cup salsa on the bottom of a greased 8-in. square baking dish., Layer with half of the tortillas and chicken mixture; sprinkle with half the tomatoes, minced cilantro and half of the cheese. Repeat layers with remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, tomatoes and cheese., Bake, uncovered, at 400° until bubbly, 20-25 minutes. Serve with remaining salsa and, if desired, optional toppings.

Steps:

• To make the salsa verde: Put the tomatillos, chile, onion, and garlic in a medium pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables are soft and the tomatillos turn pale green, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Carefully transfer the boiled vegetables, along with the cooking water, to a blender. Puree for a few seconds to blend; be sure to hold down the lid with a kitchen towel for safety. Add the 1/2 bay leaf, oregano, thyme, salt, and broth. Continue to puree until smooth. You should have about 1 quart of salsa verde.
• Place a wide pot or pan over medium-high heat and coat with the corn oil. When the oil is hazy, pour in the salsa verde; it will bubble a bit. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and keep warm while you finish the chips.
• Pour the vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or countertop deep fryer to a depth of about 2 inches and heat to 375°F over medium-high heat. Stack the tortillas and fan them with your thumb to separate. Cut the tortillas into 8 wedges like a pie.
• Working in batches, fry the tortilla chips, turning them with a skimmer or slotted spoon so they don't stick together, until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chips to a paper towel-lined baking pan or brown paper bag to drain and cool. (Let the oil return to the proper temperature between batches.)
• To finish the chilaquiles, uncover the salsa verde and raise the heat to medium. Just when it starts to bubble, stir in the beaten eggs. Cook and stir for about 5 seconds, until the egg feathers into the sauce, thickening and binding it. Immediately add the chips, tossing gently until they have absorbed enough sauce to become soft. Take care not to break the chips. Sprinkle the Jack cheese on top and let it melt.
• Divide the chilaquiles among 4 plates. Sprinkle with the queso fresco, chopped onion, and cilantro. Garnish with the crema fresca and serve immediately.
