Instructions to make Chilaquiles:
- (Sauce may be prepped the day before). Combine tomatoes and chilis into blender and blend until almost smooth. In a large container, combine this mixture with corn, chopped mushrooms, and a pinch of the garlic and onions. Set aside.
- Note: For the chicken, I used my pressure cooker (set to poultry) and cooked it for 45 min. This way I get even cooked chicken I can easily shred it and get some amazing stock, but you may prep the chicken however you like.
- In a pressure/slow cooker, combine chicken, broth, and adobo seasoning and cook. Salt & pepper to taste. After cooking, separate meat from remaining stock. Save stock for later.
- The next steps will require you to judge portions based on cookware size and desired portions.
- Add oil to skillet. Cook onions until edges are slightly brown. Throw in garlic and cook for 1 min.
- Pour sauce mix onto skillet and bring to a simmer. Add saved chicken stock if available (or add original stock). Cook for 5 min, occasionally stirring, until sauce starts to thicken.
- Remove from heat and add chicken. Mix and allow to cool for 3-5 min. Note: I learned that allowing the food to cool let the chicken absorb more of the sauce and prevented the tortilla chips from getting too soggy too quickly when added.
- Add cheese and tortilla chips and mix, carefully covering all the chips.
- Top with cilantro and serve immediately.
