Step 1
Boil crushed tomatoes with the dried chiles in a saucepan until the chiles soften, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Blend the tomato mixture until smooth. Return to the pan and stir in a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Add the tortilla chips to the red sauce and toss gently for 2 minutes until they absorb the sauce but stay crispy at the edges.
Step 4
Push the chilaquiles to the side of the pan. Crack the eggs into the empty space and fry over medium-high until whites set but yolks jiggle.
Step 5
Divide chilaquiles between plates. Top each with an egg, queso fresco, and cilantro.
