How to Make Guadalajara Style Chilaquiles

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut tortillas into 1-inch triangles. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and crispy.
  3. While tortillas bake, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the chilies, tomatoes, and spices to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Reduce heat to low, stir in the chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Add the crispy tortilla chips to the skillet and gently toss to coat with the salsa.
  7. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chips to absorb some of the sauce.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in half of the cilantro.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, crema fresca, and a fried egg (optional).
