Place foil in a griddle and add tomatoes, peppers, onion, and garlic (excluding cilantro).

Cook the vegetables in the griddle for 10 to 15 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally.

Cut leftover tortillas into triangles or squares and fry them in hot oil until crispy.

Strain the fried tortillas and set aside.

Blend the cooked vegetables with cilantro, a cup of water, and a little salt until smooth to make the red salsa.

In a pan, heat oil and pour in the red salsa, simmering for 5 to 10 minutes while seasoning to taste.

For the second serving method, soak the fried tortillas in the red salsa for 5 to 10 minutes until softened, then serve with fresh cheese, sour cream, onion, and egg.
