Instructions

  1. Combine guajillo chiles, chiles de árbol, Roma tomatoes, and garlic in a pot, cover with water, and cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes until softened.

  2. Drain the water, then blend the chiles, tomatoes, and garlic with chicken bouillon, dried oregano, and salt until smooth; set aside.

  3. Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Cut 12 corn tortillas into 8 triangles each.

  5. Fry the tortilla triangles in batches (approximately 1/4 at a time) for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, then transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. Remove most of the oil from the skillet, leaving about 1/4 cup, then add the blended sauce and cook on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. Add the fried tortilla chips to the sauce and toss until thoroughly coated.

  8. Serve immediately, topped with a fried egg, cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, and avocado slices.
