To make his version of chilaquiles (fried tortilla chips lightly cooked in salsa), Jamie Bissonnette unabashedly opts for Fritos. "They have great corn flavor, and they are crunchier than I could ever get tortillas by frying them myself."

Ingredients
- 4 cups cola
- 2 tsp. jarred Thai green curry paste
- 2 Fresno chiles or jalapeños
- 1 flank steak
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
- canola oil
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 jar salsa verde
- 8 oz. Fritos
- 1/2 cup Chopped cilantro
- 2 Hass avocados
- 3 Tbsp. freshly grated Cotija cheese
- Lime wedges
Directions
- Step 1In a 9- by 13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish, whisk the cola with the green curry paste and sliced Fresno chiles. Add the flank steaks and turn to coat thoroughly. Let the steaks stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Step 2Light a grill or preheat a grill pan and oil the grate. Remove the flank steaks from the marinade and pat them dry. Brush the steaks with canola oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until the steaks are medium-rare, about 8 minutes total. Transfer the steaks to a work surface and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Step 3Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Add the salsa verde and bring to a simmer. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until slightly reduced and thickened, about 4 minutes. Add the Fritos to the salsa and cook, stirring, until the chips are soft with some crunchy bits but not falling apart, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup of the cilantro and transfer the chilaquiles to a platter.
- Step 4Thinly slice the steaks across the grain. Top the chilaquiles with the sliced steak and any accumulated meat juices. Scatter the avocados, Cotija cheese, and remaining 1/4 cup of cilantro on top and serve immediately with lime wedges.
