Puree until smooth.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat.

Add the puree and cook, stirring often, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
13
(Partially cover the skillet if the sauce starts to splatter.)
14
Reduce the heat to medium.
15
Add the chicken and broth and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes.
16
Fold in the tortillas and cook until softened, about 1 minute.
17
Keep warm while you fry the eggs.

Divide the chilaquiles among plates.
19
Top with the eggs, cheese, radishes and cilantro leaves.
20
Drizzle with crema, if desired.
