Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Lather avocado oil onto the tortillas, ensuring they are covered.

Cut the tortillas into eighths.

Spread the tortilla pieces in an even layer on a baking tray, avoiding overlap.

Bake the tortillas in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Cut 4 roma tomatoes into quarters and a quarter of an onion.

Blend the tomatoes, onion, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of water, and 1 teaspoon of chicken base until smooth.

Heat a pan to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Pour the blended sauce into the pan and cook for about 15 minutes.

Once the tortillas are baked, pour them into a cold pan to rest.

Taste the sauce and adjust salt if necessary.

Use a smaller pan to serve a single portion, set to medium heat, and pour enough sauce to cover the chips (about 4 spoons).

Let the chips soak in the sauce for about 5 minutes.

Dress the chilaquiles with prema mexicana, chopped onions, and queso cotija.
