Cheesy Chicken Chilaquiles for Two

You’ve never had chilaquiles like this before—trust us. We made them extra cheesy like the traditional recipe, but then we made it extra easy with tortilla chips instead of corn tortillas. It’s perfectly portioned for two, but don’t be surprised if you’re reluctant to share.

Preparation

  1. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook enchilada and chicken over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Add chips; cook and stir until chips are completely coated in sauce and slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over top; cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  2. Garnish with remaining ingredients, and serve immediately.

Expert Tips

  • Look for chips that are on the thick side. Thin chips will break up too much in the cooking process and may become mushy.
  • If you like it hot, finely chop a jalapeño or serrano chile, seeds removed, and serve as an added garnish.
