Ingredients

For the Salsa

  • 6 Roma tomatoes
  • 1 inch slice of white onion
  • 1 jalapeno, I seeded but if you like spicy leave them in
  • 6-8 chile de Arbol
  • 2 cloves garlic, whole
  • water
  • oil for the salsa
  • a small amount of fresh sliced onion for the salsa pan after pureeing

For the Chilaquiles

  • 4 fried corn tortillas, halved or slightly broken up
  • The salsa
  • queso fresco cheese
  • chopped onions, cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • On a Comal, griddle or iron skillet place the tomatoes, onion, garlic and chile de arbol. Turn as they brown. Remove the chile once it starts to brown because it easily burns.
  • Add all the roasted ingredients to a blender or a Nutribullet like I do. Blend until smooth.
  • In a skillet add about a tablespoon of oil. add the thinly sliced onion, just about one thin slice halved, then the salsa and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat enough oil in a skillet to fry your tortillas. I half them first. Quickly fry them until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Either add the tortilla half's or slightly broken to the simmering salsa. Allowing them to soften for just a minute or so. Remove to individual plates and top with a fried egg. Add finely chopped onion and cilantro to the top, along with the queso fresco or cheese of your choice. Enjoy!
