ingredients

- 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano

Method
Step 1
Add your tomatoes, onions, garlic & chiles into a medium sized pot. Add enough water so that your ingredients are just covered. Bring to a simmer until your tomatoes are cooked, onions softened and chiles rehydrated.
Step 2
Once ready, add your tomatoes, onions, garlic & chiles into a blender, reserving the water. Add your oregano, cumin, pepper to taste and just a bit of salt, you can adjust the seasoning later. Slowly stream in your leftover broth, a little bit at a time, until you get a liquid that has a bit of body to it. You can choose to strain your sauce once blended.
Step 3
Begin frying you tortilla triangles to make totopos. Once fried, set aside on a cooking rack with paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 4
Add a bit of neutral oil to a hot pan and pour in your sauce. Gently reduce your sauce until you get a slightly rich consistency. Check for seasoning.
Step 5
Add your homemade totopos. Toss and evenly coat.
Step 6
Plate your chilaquiles and top with cilantro, red onion, fried egg, and some delicious crema y queso fresco, buen provecho!
