Print Recipe

A delicious and versatile Mexican dish featuring crispy tortilla pieces topped with a flavorful tomatillo sauce, perfect for any meal of the day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 pieces White corn tortillas (Preferably stale)
  • 1 cup Oil (Vegetable or canola for frying)
  • 4 pieces Dried guajillo chiles
  • 2 pieces Dried arbol chiles
  • 2 cups Low sodium chicken broth
  • 4 pieces Tomatillos
  • 3 cloves Garlic (Fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon Whole cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Fresh cilantro (For topping)
  • 1 medium Onion (Thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. Begin with the white corn tortillas. If they are fresh, allow them to sit out for a few hours to harden slightly. Cut them into quarters or sixths.
  2. In a large frying pan, pour the vegetable or canola oil and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Carefully add the cut tortillas to the pan in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. In a small pot, add the dried guajillo and arbol chiles with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the tomatillos and garlic to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until tender.
  6. Blend the broth and vegetables into a smooth sauce, adding toasted cumin seeds, Mexican oregano, and salt.
  7. In the frying pan, pour the blended sauce over the fried tortilla pieces, tossing until fully coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  8. Top with fresh cilantro and thinly sliced onions before serving.

Notes

Serve warm and feel free to add toppings like avocado, cheese, or fried eggs for extra flavor.
