    Mexican here: this is one of those dishes you can't do wrong if you stick to traditional Mexican ingredients. Adjust the proportions to your tastes in anyway you want, pick and choose the chillies, add some meat or chicken, make it fancy, make it sloppy, make it green with tomatillos and cilantro; it's going to work. If you want to develop a taste for Mexican food this is your blank template for experimentation and discovery.

      I have noticed that, you also see it with a lot of asian dishes where it seems like they are happy to see different interpretations on it.

      @@ChaosTherum You think so? Most people in America have never even had French food. Everybody's had "Chinese" food and "Mexican" food. I put those in quotes because both cuisines have been Americanized like a mf. Real Chinese and Mexican food is a different story. You don't really see authentic Mexican or Chinese restaurants unless you're in a predominantly Chinese or Hispanic community. (I didn't single out Mexicans because they move around other Spanish speakers a lot, so you could potentially find authentic Mexican food even if they ain't the majority Hispanic population).

      The French in particular have a system of cooking that is literally regimented, as in their kitchen culture came from their military culture.
      Because of that, its easier to point and proclaim "your doing it wrong!"
      In the US both Mexican and Chinese immigrants faced discrimination that forced them out of some kinds of work, but left restaurants as an option.
      Catering to others in a new land probably led to being flexible with ingredients and methods.
      I think Italians went through a similar process.
      Pizza is so incredibly popular, but it hardly resembles the original Italian version, and its such a small part of overalll Italian cuisine.
      I've only been to one restaurant that Italian, rather than a pizza joint, and everything I ate there was foreign to the point of being unpleasant, but that was my own personal problem.

    Mexican tip here:
    If you're too lazy to use a broiler/oven, just do something we call "tatemado", which is placing the veggies on a burning hot plain surface until it becames almost burned, trust me, it will develop a deep, smokey, intense flavour, or if you're extra lazy just cook the tomatoes in water, you can leave them there for long enough, no need to do the concassé cut.
    You can also do the same with them chiles, but if you want it less spicy just remove the seeds and the veins (i suggest that you use a blend of pasilla, guajillo and arbol)

I was using beef broth, tomatoes as liquid and had it all seasoned with chipotle chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
    The liquid left over from the shredded beef is actually amazing to use in the same way to soak the chips. I love both the salsa he makes with tomatoes and this new way I "discovered".

    Ethan I have a question, a Mexican friend who is a chef told me the way to make sauces like these are "to really burn the tomatoes, like really burn them". I tried this and the taste is actually way better (I couldnt replicate this taste in an oven, only in the pan). What's the scientific reason for this?

    • @carolinalomeli9128

      Not true, many people in Mexico roast the tomatoes, onions and chiles in the oven. It is all a matter of preference and convenience.

      I always charr/burn my ingredients when I make salsas. I prefer the taste as opposed to fresh or lightly charred. It gives it different elements of flavor.

    I don't know if you'll get to read this comment, but this reminds me a lot of a Romanian dish called "tochitură". Yes, no tortilla chips, but it's basically polenta + some tomato sauce (my family adds hot pepper paste) with various types of meat inside (mostly pork and smoked sausages), a fried egg and some cheese on top (and here sadly it's stuck to a local cheese called "telemea" really similar to feta).
    I think that adding some smoked sausage on that fried egg would add some nice extra stuff on that chilaquiles. :D

      It's true! I've eaten this in restaurants before, but there's no place around here that does that. Years later I ended up with some tortillas that were going stale, and realized that the time had finally come. Hey, what do you know? It's bachelor cooking, a few cheap ingredients, it's not hard to make, it wouldn't be easy to burn it, for example. I liked my "home" version better than the restaurant one! It's not that hard to fry those old tortillas. I fried them way too much the first time, and it still worked! This is about the cheapest thing you could make that would still be any good, and also could be vegetarian.

    My absolute favorite breakfast ever. My mom makes it for me whenever I visit her. She always makes her salsa from scratch that morning and always uses yellow corn tortillas because they remain super crispy even after they sit in the salsa. I have never been able to replicate her salsa, so at home I will make them with whatever salsa I have in my fridge, including enchilada sauce. You just can't go wrong with them.

    • @ThePdog3k
      @ThePdog3k Pƙed 3 lety

      This is where I learned it, the salsa would be simmered on the flat top, with fresh sauteed tomato/onion/peppers, then the chorizo would be added, then chips, then eggs, similar to a migas.
      Then when I would ask them for migas, they would laugh and tell me it was called chilaquiles.

      You can pull the pork from the chunk of carnitas and fry the chopped bits (maybe quarter inch) until they become salty and crispy. You can then stir maybe a half a cup into the hot tomato or tomatillo sauce just before adding the tortillas.
