Chilaquiles Divorciados and Paloma Cocktail

Recipe

Divorce isn’t usually the happiest topic, but “divorced” chilaquiles are another story! These chilaquiles divorciados are made with both green salsa and red salsa; the tangy green salsa compliments the sweeter tomato-based sauce perfectly. Paired with a Paloma, a classic cocktail that combines premium silver tequila with grapefruit soda for a light and refreshing summer drink.

Author's Notes

For the tortillas, slightly stale is fine since you will be frying them - this is a great recipe for using them up!

Cooking Instructions

Hide images

step 1

Into the blender, add the Tomatillo (1 can) with ¼ cup of their liquid, White Onion (1/2), Fresh Cilantro (1/2 bunch), Pickled Jalapeño Peppers (4 Tbsp), Garlic (2 cloves), Granulated Sugar (1/2 tsp), Ground Cumin (1/4 tsp), and Salt (1/4 tsp) and blend until pureed. Add to a bowl and set aside.

step 2

In the same blender, blend the Diced Tomatoes (2 cans), Garlic (2 cloves), Tabasco® Original Red Pepper Sauce (1 tsp), Ground Cumin (1/2 tsp), Salt (1/2 tsp), and Cayenne Pepper (1/4 tsp).

step 3

Cut the 6-Inch Corn Tortillas (25) into strips around 1-inch thick (or whatever shape you prefer). Heat a skillet over medium heat with a thick layer of Vegetable Oil (as needed).

step 4

Once the oil is shimmering fry the chips in batches until pale golden. Test the oil by sticking the corner of a tortilla strip into the oil, it should begin to bubble. Transfer finished chips to a lined plate or tray to drain. Prepare the Palomas before soaking the chips.

step 5

Add the PATRÓN® Silver Tequila (12 fl oz), Grapefruit Soda (18 fl oz), Lime Juice (3 fl oz), and Salt (6 pinches) to an ice-filled highball glass and stir.

step 6

Garnish with a slice of Grapefruit (6 slices).

step 6 Garnish with a slice of Grapefruit (6 slices).

step 7

Add green and red sauces to 2 medium pots (you will eventually mix half the chips into each one, so go bigger than you might otherwise). Bring to a simmer, cook for around 5 minutes just to meld the flavors, then turn off the heat.

step 8

Add half the chips to the warm red sauce and quickly toss to coat. Repeat with the green sauce.

step 9

Quickly plate the chilaquiles and top with White Onions (to taste), Queso Fresco (to taste), Sour Cream (to taste), and Fresh Cilantro (to taste). Serve immediately along with the cocktails.
