These are a traditional breakfast or a good meal anytime. I love these with re-fried beans and cecina steak.
Ingredients:
1/2 pkg of 3 corn tortillas (i like the brand el popocatepetl (27oz) )
1 cup corn oil
2 cups chile de arbol hotsauce-see my recipe) ( you can add less if you dont want it as spicy or use a different kind)
1-3/4 cups water
1 t. salt (you may add more if you like)
1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 small white onion sliced
cojita cheese to sprinkle on top
side options
re-fry beans
eggs
cecina steak
rolls or tortillas
Directions:
1. 1. Heat oil in skillet
2. 2. Cut tortillas into strip, add them to hot oil. Cook until golden brown. Remove and place them on a papertowel to drain excess oil. Repeat until add are done.
3. 3. Take any remaining oil in pan and drain except about 1 tablespoon.
4. 4. Place all fried tortilla chips back into skillet. Begin by pouring 1 Cup water over the tortilla strips. Add onion, hotsauce and salt. Mix well with tongs. Cook about 3-5 minutes. The stips should start to feel tender. Add the last remaining water. Stir again and cook about 3 minutes.
5. 5. Add the mozzarella cheese and mix well. Remove from heat. Top with cojita cheese.
6. 6. Dish onto plates and serve
