MAKES 2 SERVINGS

1 pound tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed and
dried then cut in half

2 to 4 cloves garlic

1/2 Spanish onion, chopped

2 serrano chiles

1 cup cilantro leaves

Juice of two limes

2 cups tortilla chips

4 eggs

Sour cream

1 Avocado

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Preheat broiler.

Place tomatillos, garlic, onion and chiles on tray and put under broiler. Cook until slightly blackened. Allow to cool, then puree with cilantro and lime juice.

In a saute pan on medium heat put tomatillo salsa and tortilla chips, cook until chips are soft and most of salsa is absorbed. Serve with fried eggs, avovado and sour cream, as desired.
