Directions for Sauce
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook
for 5 minutes until tender and translucent. Stir in jalapeño, garlic,
and spices. Sauté for 10 more minutes.
- Add tomatoes and chicken stock. Stirring often, bring mixture to a
low rolling boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes
over low heat. Remove sauce from heat and allow it to cool.
- Puree mixture in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
Directions for Chilaquiles
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place tortilla wedges flat on a baking sheet and bake for 2 minutes,
just long enough to dry them out. Remove from oven and set aside.
Keep oven set to 350 degrees.
- Heat oil over medium-heat in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch
oven. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes until tender and translucent.
Stir in jalapeño and cilantro. Sauté for an additional 3 minutes. Add
sauce as prepared above and bring to a simmer. Add tortilla wedges to
sauce and stir until well coated.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Towards the end of the baking time, poach (or fry) each egg.
- To serve, distribute the chilaquiles evenly among four plates. Top
each serving with an egg. Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with
chopped cilantro.
