Chilaquiles

This is my husband's favorite and I make them for him all of the time; especially after we've been drinking. You can enjoy them alone or with eggs, I like to add a fried egg on top.

8 tortillas
1 - 8oz can of tomato sauce
A handful of dried chiles (to find the right amount of heat, you can start by adding just a couple at first and then more if needed)
1 garlic clove
1/4 of a small onion
Salt
Vegetable oil
Jack cheese - shredded

Cut the tortillas into small pieces. Heat your skillet and add enough oil to coat the bottom, add the chiles and roast them. Remove the chiles from the skillet and set aside. Add the tortillas to the skillet and fry them until they are crispy, stirring them so they fry evenly.
Place the tomatoe sauce, chiles, garlic and onion with salt to taste in the blender; blend thoroughly. Add the chile sauce to the skillet and allow to heat thoroughly. Top with cheese and reduce the heat until the cheese melts. Enjoy!
