Enjoy this tortilla soup with pasilla and guajillo chili; it is absolutely delicious. The origin of tortilla soup comes from pre-Hispanic times, where there was a desire to eat softer foods when chewing, which is why its ancient flavor will delight you.

In a small pot with hot vegetable oil, fry the strips of corn tortilla over medium heat gradually. Make sure the oil does not overheat; otherwise, the tortilla will not become crispy and will just burn. Drain on paper towels and set aside. In a large skillet, roast the garlic along with the onion and quartered tomatoes until the skin begins to darken. Add the pasilla chili and guajillo chili; toast over low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Add the epazote and chicken broth; cook until the chicken broth starts to bubble. Remove from heat. Blend until you obtain a thick sauce. In a saucepan with vegetable oil, pour in the blended sauce and add more chicken broth to dilute the thickness of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes over low heat. To serve the tortilla soup, first pour a little chili broth into a soup bowl and then add fried tortilla. Serve with sour cream, panela cheese, avocado, and epazote leaves. Enjoy hot!
