👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat an oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2. 2Next, cut homemade corn tortillas into six wedges and arrange them in a single layer on two 13x9" baking sheets. Lightly spray with oil and bake for 15 minutes or until crisp. You can also use store-bought tortilla chips instead and skip this spraying with oil and baking step.
3. 3Meanwhile, place the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, garlic, vegetable oil, salt, and cumin in the bowl of a blender or large food processor and puree until smooth.
4. 4Transfer the red sauce to a large skillet and set to medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then reduce the heat to low and add the chicken broth. Taste and add salt as needed.
5. 5Transfer the baked chips to the skillet and fold gently into the sauce. If you want some crunchy chips around the edge of this dish, then save a few and don't cook in the sauce, and then add them around the edge of the dish. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the chips have softened.
6. 6Serve with toppings of your choice! This Mexican chilaquiles recipe gets better when topped with cilantro, cotija cheese, shredded chicken, avocado slices, onion, eggs, beans, or pretty much anything your heart desires!
