Instructions
Place the onion, chillies, garlic, stock and tomatillos into a food processor and blend to make a sauce.
Place a saucepan over a medium heat and add corn oil. Add the sauce and season with salt to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Heat 300ml (10fl oz) oil to 190°C in a large heavy-based pan. Fry the tortilla triangles until just golden-brown and crisp, then drain on kitchen paper.
Fry the eggs in a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, until cooked to your liking.
Stir the tortillas into the sauce, folding lightly to coat them but taking care not to break them. Divide the mixture between four warm shallow bowls and top each one with a fried egg. Top with crumbled cheese, the shallot, coriander and soured cream. Serve immediately.
