You can use as much as a half head of garlic, just slice off the top of the bulb and let it roast. Toss with oil, salt & pepper, roast in a 400 degree oven for 1 hour.

Brown chorizo. Drain well.

warm refried beans and cream cheese in microwave, half power, 1-2 minutes to make a smooth, softened mixture.

If possible, let tortillas sit out over night. This will allow some of the moisture to escape and make a crispier tortilla. you can substitute flour tortillas.
6
fry tortillas (in batches) in 1 inch of oil, drain on paper towels and immediately sprinkle tex-mex seasoning salt on top.
7
preparepan/ water for egg poaching. If you made everything the night before, warm beans, warm tomatillo sauce
8
On a platter, heap a layer of chips, then spread bean mixture and tomatillo sauce on top... sprinkle chorizo and flake cheese with a fork to make crumbles. garnish with sliced avocado, cilantro and lime wedges.
