Stuffed Chilaquiles – ‘Chilaquiles Rellenos’
  1. Place flour in a large mixing bowl. Add salt.

  2. Slowly add the water and knead with your hands until a smooth dough consistency is reached. Dough should not stick to your hands.

  3. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 20 minutes.

  4. After 20 minutes, divide the prepared dough in equal portions of about the size of a golf ball, (always keep covered with the cloth to avoid the dough from drying out).

  5. If you are using your tortilla press, press the handle slowly until you have a smaller tortilla of about 5 mm thick. (Remember to use the plastic sheets!) If you don’t have a tortilla press, place the masa in between 2 plastic sheets and press with a heavy pot or chopping board.

  6. Place your filling on 2 sides and fold as an empanada.

  7. Cut in half and close securely pressing all sides.

  8. In a medium skillet, heat oil and fry until golden brown.

  9. Heat the salsa and pour over the filled chilaquiles.

  10. Drizzle with sour cream and shredded cheese.
