Ingredients

Servings:3
  • 12 pieces Corn tortillas, cut into triangles
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 1/2 cups Canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika (Pimentón de la Vera)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup Manchego cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet and fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden brown and crisp; drain on paper towels and salt immediately.

  2. 2

    In a separate saucepan, sauté half of the minced garlic with a splash of oil until fragrant, then stir in the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper for 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add the crushed tomatoes and sherry vinegar to the saucepan, simmering for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens into a rich Salsa Brava.

  4. 4

    Prepare the garlic aioli by whisking together the mayonnaise, the remaining minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

  5. 5

    Place the fried tortilla chips back into a large warm skillet and pour the hot Salsa Brava over them, tossing gently to coat while keeping some crunch.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the shredded Manchego cheese over the warm chips, allowing it to melt slightly from the residual heat.

  7. 7

    Drizzle the garlic aioli generously over the top of the chilaquiles in a zigzag pattern.

  8. 8

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while the textures are still contrasting.
