Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 corn tortillas
oil (optional)
1 1/2 to 2 cups red chile sauce, recipe follows
1 cup shredded chedder or monterey jack cheese
1/2 small chopped onion
2 fried eggs
1 cup shredded lettuce
3/4 cup chopped tomato
Red Chile Sauce:
20 dried chile pods
1/4 cup water
6 garlic cloves
salt
pinch mexican oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Each serving will contain 3 corn tortillas. Take the tortilla and dip it in hot oil or dip it in the red chile sauce and put on plate. Top this with cheese and onion and more sauce and put another dipped tortilla on top and repeat this 2 times. Heat in the oven or under the broiler until cheese melts and top with a fried egg. Garnish the plate with the lettuce and tomato. You can serve this with fried potatoes or pinto beans. Red Chile Sauce: Remove the stems and seeds of the chile pods. Soak the pods in water or simmer on stove for about 10 minutes. Place chile and garlic in a blender with 1/4 cup water and puree until smooth. (Use 6-8 pods of chile and 2 cloves of garlic at a time, which will make the puree smoother and easier to work with.) Add more water as needed to get a medium consistency. In a sauce pan, add pureed chile with Mexican oregano and salt to taste. Bring to a slow boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes. yield: 3 cups
