Cut corn tortillas into strips.

In a pot, combine tomatillos, a piece of onion, and garlic, and bring to a boil.

Once softened, drain the tomatillos but leave about 1/3 cup of the water.

For the red salsa, boil tomatoes and California chiles until soft.

Blend the tomatoes, California chiles, garlic, and some of the boiled water in a food processor.

In a separate pan, fry red onions in oil.

Add the blended red salsa to the fried onions with a little salt.

Add two eggs to the mixture and stir until cooked.

To serve, layer the crispy tortillas with the green salsa, then the red salsa, and top with sour cream and shredded cheese.
