Method

To Prepare the Guajillo Sauce

1

Prepare the Chiles

Remove the stems and seeds from the dried guajillo chiles. Rinse them under cold water.

2

Cook the Chiles

In a saucepan, combine the rinsed chiles, garlic cloves, diced onion, cumin powder, salt, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the chiles are tender.

3

Blend the Sauce

Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.

To Prepare the Chilaquiles

4

Fry the Eggs

In a non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. Set aside.

5

Heat the Beans

In a small saucepan, heat the pinto beans over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

6

Combine Tortilla Chips and Sauce

In a large skillet, add the tortilla chips and pour the guajillo sauce over them. Gently toss to coat the chips in the sauce, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.

7

Serve the Chilaquiles

On a serving plate, layer the sauced tortilla chips, then add the warmed pinto beans. Top with fried eggs, cotija cheese, crema, fresh cilantro, and drizzle with salsa verde and house red salsa to taste.
