  • In a pot, place the tomatoes and chiles and fill with water until they are covered. Put over low heat.
  • Transfer the tomatoes, chiles, garlic, and 1/3 of the water they were cooked in to the blender and puree until a sauce forms.
  • In another large pot, place the sauce, season with salt, and cook over medium heat until slightly reduced and flavors concentrate, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
  • In a large skillet, add 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 disposable kitchen towels to drain some of the grease.
  • 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 burning.
  • Add the sauce and cook, stirring, for another 3 minutes.
  • Serve the chilaquiles and top with cream, fresh cheese, and chopped cilantro.
