Techniques
- guajillo chilies
Tear the stems off the guajillo chilies, tear them open, shake out the seeds and pull out the veins.
Toast on a griddle over medium, pressing flat with a spatula a few seconds per side until the color lightens and they smell of red chile.
- 1 can can of tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 cup water
Blend the drained chilies with the can of tomatoes, 4 garlic cloves and a cup of water until absolutely smooth; press through a strainer and discard the debris.
- oil
Heat a film of oil in a Dutch oven, add the puree all at once and stir until it has the consistency of tomato paste.
- 3 cup broth
Add about 3 cups of broth to a soupy consistency and simmer 20 minutes over medium-low.
- 8 oz thick homemade-style chips
Stir in 8 ounces of thick chips to moisten them all; bring to a boil, cover, turn off the heat and let stand 5 minutes to soften.
Softening the chips in the sauce
- Mexican crema
- 2 rings white onion rings
- queso añejo
- cilantro
Plate the chilaquiles with plenty of sauce, top with a fried egg, crema, white onion rings, queso añejo and chopped cilantro.
