Some time ago I saw a recipe in a Mexican cookbook for using
stale leftover corn chips in a breafast dish that included eggs,
salsa, and other stuff.
Sounds like the delicious chilaquiles. Take 2-3 stale corn tortillas, chop
or rip them into doritos sized chunks and fry briefly in a skillet of hot
oil. Briefly is the key- they should be limp, not crisp. Cover with a
sauce similar to red enchilada sauce: red chile powder, onion, garlic and
tomato. I do the following: small sauce pan with approx 2-3 T of oil in the
bottom to high medium heat. Add chopped serranos, jalapenos, and onion and
sauté the whole lot. Might throw in a clove or 2 of chopped garlic towards
the end of the sauté. Add 1 can of el pato mexican tomato sauce, red chile
powder to taste and cook the whole thing down to a slightly thick
consistency. Pour over fried tortillas, eat with a side of refries.
Breakfast of champions !!! Would also be good over eggs, if you do eggs.
First time I ate these was at a small b&b in Puerto Vallarta. Been hooked
ever since- eat this at least twice a month for Sunday breakfast.
You should be able to find the recipe in any good mexican cookbook, either
red or green sauce.
