White Bean Chilaquiles with Fried Eggs & Cashew Crema


Ingredients

  • 5 corn tortillas, cut into triangles (or whatever shape you want!), brushed with EVOO, sprinkled with salt, and baked for 10 minutes at 350 degrees (for this I used sprouted grain Ezekiel tortillas. Also, as my gal Ina says, store-bought is fine!)

  • Cashew Cream
    1 cup raw cashews, soaked for a few hours or overnight (strain and discard water)
    Juice of 1 lime
    Zest of one lime
    1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
    1 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    2 big pinches of salt
    3/4 cup water

  • Sauce

    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced
    2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    One 14.5 oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes
    One 15 oz can great northern or cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
    1/2 cup chicken or veg broth
    1 Tablespoon sherry vinegar
    1 Tablespoon chili powder
    1 Tablespoon chipotle chili powder
    Salt to taste
    4 eggs
    Cilantro for garnish
    Thinly sliced red onion or shallot for garnish

How to make it

  • Make cashew cream: Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth (consistency of crema ). Set aside.

  • Make base: Heat ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and garlic. Sauté until fragrant but not browned, just less than a minute. Add tomatoes and spices and a few pinches of salt. Add beans and broth and cook over medium-high heat until liquid reduces and sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes). Mix in tortilla chips and toss with sauce and beans so half of the chips are in the liquid and a few are on top

  • Add eggs: Make space for eggs and crack each one into the sauce and chips. Bake at 350 for about 10-15 minutes or until eggs are cooked as desired – check for whites to be cooked through

  • Finish and enjoy: Remove from oven, serve with crema, cilantro, and red onions or shallots.
