Brown chorizo in a pan and drain the grease.

Toast 6 guajillo chiles in the chorizo grease.

Add 1/2 to 3/4 of a large onion, garlic cloves, and roma tomatoes to the pan and let them cook.

Transfer everything from the pan into a blender, adding some water to capture all the flavor.

Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to achieve a smoothie-like consistency.

Add salt to the blended sauce and let it simmer.

Cut 5 tortilla shells into pieces and deep-fry them until very crispy.

Add the fried tortilla pieces to the simmering sauce, making a well in the middle.

Add mozzarella cheese into the well, followed by scrambled eggs.

Layer more cheese on top, including cotija cheese and queso fresco.

Pour green salsa over the mixture and top with cilantro.
