Salmon con Chilaquiles


Spicy Grilled Wild-caught Salmon on a bed of Chilaquiles


Instead of serving spanish rice with your meal be bold and serve your Spicy Grilled Wild-Caught Salmon on a bed of Chilaquiles. Chilaquiles are made from corn tortillas which have been cut into triangles and gently fried in Virgin Olive Oil. The fried corn tortillas are "like" a tortilla chip, but will not be as crispy and are not salted. Once you have gently fried the tortillas add several tablespoons of chile colorado sauce in the frying pan (use a cast iron skillet) and toss the chips to coat them with sauce.  Turn skillet off and place lid on skillet. You can find my recipe for Chile Colorado Sauce under the January recipes.

When I make Chile Colorado Sauce I will make a large batch, use what I need and will freeze the rest in meal servings sizes for future use.
