How to Make Chilaquiles With Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the tortilla pieces with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. While the tortillas are baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and jalapeños (if using) and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken.
  7. Pour the chicken and tomato sauce over the crispy tortilla chips in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with sour cream or crema fresca, if desired.
