Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Toast guajillo chiles in a dry pan for 30 seconds, then soak in hot water for 5 minutes.
  2. Blend the drained chiles with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and 1/2 cup water until smooth.
  3. Fry the salsa in oil over medium heat for 6 minutes until slightly thickened; season with salt.
  4. Fold the tortilla chips into the simmering salsa and toss for 1 to 2 minutes so they soften but stay intact.
  5. Fry or scramble the eggs to your liking in a separate pan.
  6. Plate the chilaquiles, top with the eggs, and finish with crema, queso fresco, and sliced onion.
