Chilaquiles with Turkey Chorizo
and curtido / sour cream
Made in just one pan with minimal prep, chilaquiles are a great addition to the weeknight meal rotation. Tortillas are chopped, fried in a bit of oil, and folded in at the end of cooking to create a rustic dish that is hearty and full of flavor.

Make
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add first part of oil and then chopped tortillas. Cook tortillas, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside.
- Return skillet to stovetop and increase to medium-high heat. Add second part of oil and then bell peppers and onions. Saute until vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add turkey and saute, breaking it apart, until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes more.
- Pour enchilada sauce and stock over turkey and stir to combine. Simmer for 1 minute to reduce slightly.
- Add tortillas back to pan and stir until tortillas are warmed through and coated in sauce.
- Divide chilaquiles between serving bowls and top with sour cream and curtido (leftover from this recipe). Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over top. Enjoy!
