INGREDIENTS
1 lb. ground beef
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 sweet onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 1/2 c. Red salsa
2 tbsp. minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 1/2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
14 oz. thick tortilla chips
Juice and zest of 2 limes
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 c. queso fresco, crumbled, for garnish
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, for garnish
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large skillet cook ground beef until done. Set aside.
- Pour oil into skillet and cook onion and garlic, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, 2 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cook, 4 to 5 minutes more. Add beef and toss together. Remove half the mixture from skillet and set aside.
- Add salsa, adobo, and broth and stir together. Bring mixture to a boil and begin adding tortilla chips, a handful at a time, folding gently to coat every chip. Allow chips to soak up some liquid before adding more. Repeat until all chips have been added and evenly mixed.
- Add lime zest and juice, season with salt and pepper, and gently fold together. Bake until all liquid has been absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Finish chilaquiles by topping with remaining zucchini and beef mixture, queso fresco, sliced avocados, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
- Enjoy!
