15 ounces can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup broth of your choice
1 poblano pepper
1/2 large white onion
1 chiles in adobo
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 bunch cilantro
2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder (regular is okay too)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (more if you like spice)
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt to taste
1/2 lime
4 eggs
6 day-old corn tortillas (taco size)
Vegetable or canola oil for frying
1/2 to 1 cups queso fresco

1
Cut and remove seeds from poblano pepper and slice onion. Place pepper, onion, and garlic on a tray, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with salt. Roast at 375u00b0 F for about 15 minutes until cooked.
2
In a food processor, add the can of tomato, broth, chilies in adobo, spices, 1/2 bunch of cilantro, and roasted peppers, onion, and garlic. Pulse until you reach a smooth and corse saucy mix. Heat up in a pot over medium flame and add salt to taste.
3
Take day old corn (do not use flour!) tortillas and cut them into medium triangles. In a frying pan, pour enough vegetable or canola oil to liberally cover the bottom. Heat up oil and fry tortilla strips until crispy.
4
Fry the four eggs sunny-side up.
5
To assemble, pour warm sauce over the fried tortillas and squeeze the juice from 1/2 of a lime over the whole dish. Crumble queso fresco over tortillas and sauce, saving a bit to top the eggs. Place eggs on top of the tortillas and sauce and top with leftover queso fresco and chopped cilantro.
