Sweet and Sour “Chinaquiles”

So, at home we sometimes observe taco Tuesdays (thank you, Lego Movie 🤣), but today we decided to blend in some Chinese flavors, and invented the Chinaquiles!

Chilaquiles are essentially fried tortilla chips with cheese, hot salsa, and cream. Today, the salsa borrowed some Chinese sweet and sour sauce to give it a totally unexpected, yet delicious kick!

Talk about fusion...

Steps

30 minutes
  1. 1

    Lay out the tortilla wedges on a cloth to dry (for as long as possible, we had them drying since yesterday) Heat sufficient vegetable oil in a deep pan and fry the chips (in batches, if need be) until crispy and golden. Place them in a colander to discard excess oil.

    In a medium pot, place the tomatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the skin bursts.

  3. 3

    In a food processor, add: olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, the sweet and sour sauce. Process until smooth, then add the tomatoes, one at a time, and puree. You should get a bright red sauce. Return to pot and simmer until it bubbles.

  4. 4

    To plate: heap some tortilla chips on a plate, cover with the cheese and drench in the sauce (which should be as hot as possible so it melts the cheese). Let it rest for a bit for the cheese to melt and the tortillas to absorb some of the sauce. Then, add the sour cream. Your Mexican/Chinese fusion Chinaquiles are ready!

    NOTE: you can add some shredded chicken, or some cooked ground beef, or sliced onions, or pretty much anything your heart desires. It's quite a versatile dish!
