Directions
  1. In a pot, heat the oil to 355 degrees F. Add the cut corn tortillas, and cook until browned. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Place all the ingredients in a pan and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes. Blend and adjust the salt.
  3. Place all the ingredients in a pot and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes. Blend and adjust the salt.
  4. Place all the ingredients in a pot; add 2 cups of water, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the broth, cool slightly, and shred it with your hands.
  5. Heat the oil in a large pan over low heat. Crack the eggs, one by one, into the oil. When the egg whites begin to turn opaque, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with the salt.
