Chilaquiles Verdes

This is a great Mexican dish for the summer and it’s fast and easy too. Add chicken, beef or shrimp to boost the protein and canned chilies or jalapenos to spice it up!

Ingredients:
1. 1 28 oz can green chili enchilada sauce
2. 12 6” corn tortillas, sliced into thin strips
3. 3 cups olive oil
4. Big handful of chopped fresh cilantro
5. 4 cloves garlic, chopped fine

Method:
1. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet
2. Fry half the tortilla in the oil until it is crisp and slightly brown
3. Remove with a slotted spoon and fry the other half
4. Meanwhile, boil the enchilada sauce with the garlic and cilantro until the garlic is tender and the sauce is fragrant
5. Stir in the fried tortilla and reduce heat to simmer
6. Simmer uncovered for five minutes
7. Let rest for two minutes off heat

Top with sour cream, serve with shredded cheese, sliced avacado and a variety of salsas
Enjoy!!
