Part 4/9:
Dried chilies such as ancho or smoked peppers are roasted, soaked in hot water, then blended to create a sauce with deep smoky notes.
Corn tortillas are fried until crispy, then dunked into the rich chili sauce.
The sauce is further enhanced with herb steeping (culantro or epazote) for extra flavor.
Culinary Technique:
Frying the chips and simmering the rich chili sauce are traditional methods that highlight the dish’s rustic authenticity. The combination of the smoky, spicy sauce with crispy chips and soft eggs makes it a memorable brunch experience.
