Chicken Chilaquiles

Chicken Chilaquiles


INGREDIENTS:
1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
2. 4 garlic cloves, chopped
3. 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes in puree
4. 2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
5. 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
6. Coarse salt
7. 1 (1- 3/4) pound cooked rotisserie chicken, skinned and shredded, carcass discarded
8. 1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, chopped
9. 4 cups tortilla chips
10. 4 sprigs cilantro, for garnish
11. 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
12. 1 3/4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

COOKING DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine oil and garlic in a large (3-to-4-quart) saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and sizzling, 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Add tomatoes with their puree (breaking tomatoes up), chipotles and adobo, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; season with salt. Reduce heat and simmer rapidly until lightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until hot, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in chopped cilantro.
4. Divide chips among four shallow bowls; top with chicken mixture and sauce. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, sour cream, and feta. Serve.

Note
For an authentic touch, use fresh Mexican cheese (queso fresco) or aged (queso anejo) in place of feta.
