  • In a pot, place the peeled tomatillos and the chiles, and fill with water until they are covered. Place over low heat.
  • Transfer the tomatillos, the chiles, and 1/3 of the water in which they were cooked to the blender and puree until a sauce forms.
  • In another large pot, put the sauce, season with salt, and cook over medium heat until it reduces a bit and the flavors concentrate, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
  • In a large skillet, put about 1 cm of oil. Fry half of the tortillas until they are slightly golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Repeat the previous step with the remaining tortillas.
  • Place the tortillas on paper towels to drain some of the fat.
  • Leave 1/4 cup of the oil used and return all the tortillas to the skillet.
  • Add the onion and cover the skillet. Let it cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent browning or burning.
  • Add the sauce and cook, stirring for another 3 minutes.
  • Serve the chilaquiles and top with cream, fresh cheese, and chopped cilantro.
