Instructions

  3. Prepare the egg batter: Beat the egg whites with salt until stiff. Add the yolks and 2 tablespoons of flour, then beat again until combined.
  4. Combine batter and chili mixture: Add half of the egg batter to the chili and cheese mixture, mix well, then add the remaining half and mix again.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Heat oil in a skillet. Pour batter to form pancakes and fry until golden and cooked through. Remove and drain excess oil.
  6. Prepare the sauce: Grind tomatoes, garlic, and onion. Heat oil, add a slice of onion, then add the ground sauce and broth. Add cilantro sprigs for flavor.
  7. Serve: Place the cooked pancakes in the sauce to warm through. Serve with rice or as desired.
