Prepare dried pablano peppers by removing the stems and seeds.

Chop garlic and onion, then add them to a pot with the dried peppers and tomatoes.

Add about 5 cups of water to the pot and bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover for about 30 minutes.

Pour the mixture into a blender, removing some liquid for a thicker sauce, and blend until smooth.

Add a little cream or half and half to the sauce for creaminess.

In a skillet, layer some sauce, tortilla chips, cheese, and onion, then repeat the layers.

Top with more cheese and onion, then cook until the cheese melts.

Fry eggs to serve on top of the dish.
