Description

Delicious stacked enchiladas filled with creamy potatoes and smoky chorizo, topped with a rich, vibrant sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon Oleico Safflower Oil
  • 1 (9 ounce) soy, pork, or beef chorizo
  • 4 cups gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cup white onion, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Warm corn tortillas for serving
  • 8 dried guajillo chiles, stems and seeds removed
  • 2 dried pasilla ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
  • 3 ½ cups water
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ¼ piece white onion
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ cup Oleico Safflower Oil
  • 18 corn tortillas
  • Mexican crema for drizzling
  • 6 eggs for frying
  • Crumbled queso fresco for sprinkling
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of Oleico Safflower Oil and add the chopped onions. Sauté until they turn translucent, releasing their sweet aroma.
  2. Crumble the chorizo into the skillet, stirring well to combine with the onions, cooking until browned and fragrant.
  3. Add the cubed potatoes and 1/3 cup of water to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then cover the skillet. Cook for 10-15 minutes, occasionally checking until the potatoes are tender.
  4. While the filling cooks, prepare the sauce by boiling the guajillo and pasilla chilies with 3 ½ cups of water for about 10 minutes, or until soft.
  5. In a blender, combine the cooked chilies, garlic cloves, ¼ piece of white onion, and garlic salt. Blend until smooth and silky.
  6. Prepare a separate skillet with ½ cup of Oleico Safflower Oil over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas for a few seconds on each side until lightly crisp but not too hard. Drain on a paper towel.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
  8. In a baking dish, begin layering by placing a fried tortilla as the base. Spoon a generous amount of the potato and chorizo mixture over the tortilla, followed by a drizzle of the blended sauce. Repeat this layering until all ingredients are used.
  9. Top the final layer with any remaining sauce, making sure everything’s enveloped in love.
  10. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
  11. In a hot skillet, fry the eggs, giving them a sunny disposition to top the enchiladas before serving.
  12. Finally, garnish with crumbled queso fresco and fresh cilantro. Enjoy the marvel of stacked potato and chorizo enchiladas warm, fresh, and full of flavor!

Notes

Make the filling a day in advance for enhanced flavors. Substitute with vegetarian chorizo or sweet potatoes as desired.
