Cut the corn tortillas into triangles and fry them in the vegetable oil for 4 to 5 minutes, until crisp.
Boil the tomatoes, half onion, garlic, and dried hot peppers for 8 minutes.
Blend the boiled sauce ingredients with the salt.
Thicken the sauce in a pan for 5 minutes.
Add the crisp tortilla pieces to the sauce and turn gently for 2 minutes.
Cook the eggs in a separate pan for 4 minutes, leaving the yolks runny.
Finely chop the remaining onion, crumble the white cheese, and slice the avocado.
Serve chilaquiles rojos with the eggs, strained yogurt, white cheese, onion, and avocado.
💡 Tip: Turn the tortilla pieces in the sauce for only 2 to 3 minutes; when some crisp edges remain, the plate feels better balanced.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chilaquiles rojos on hot plates with egg, white cheese, strained yogurt, and optional avocado on top.
