  10. oil - as needed (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Chiles: Toast the pasilla chiles until they turn brown, then open them up to remove the seeds.
  2. Fill the Chiles: Break up the cheese and fill the toasted chiles with it.
  3. Prepare the Chiles for Frying: Coat the filled chiles with flour.
  4. Prepare the Tomato Broth: In a saucepan, sauté slices of onion in oil until browned. Blend the tomatoes with the sautéed onion, garlic, a little salt, and water to form a broth.
  5. Beat the Eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the whites until stiff, then add the yolks and three teaspoons of flour, and beat until well mixed.
  6. Fry the Chiles: Heat oil in a pot. Dip the flour-coated chiles in the beaten egg mixture and fry until golden.
  7. Finish the Broth: Bring the tomato broth to a boil, then add cilantro and the fried chiles. Let simmer briefly.
  8. Serve: Serve the chiles hot, accompanied by rice if desired.
