Method
 

Broil the Vegetables
  1. Preheat broiler to high. Place poblanos, halved tomatoes (cut side up), onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. Broil for 6–8 minutes, turning poblanos occasionally, until everything is deeply charred.
  3. Transfer poblanos to a covered bowl to steam for 5 minutes. Peel skins, remove seeds, and roughly chop.
Make the Salsa
  1. Blend chopped poblanos with charred tomatoes, garlic, onion, vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning.
  2. Fold in halved cherry tomatoes for brightness.
Make the Cilantro Crema
  1. Blend or stir together crema, lime juice, cilantro, and salt until smooth.
Make the Pistachio Crumble
  1. Crush pistachios and mix with lime zest, chili flakes, and salt.
Fry the Eggs
  1. Heat neutral oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Crack in eggs and fry until crispy at the edges and yolks are still runny, about 2–3 minutes. Season with salt.
Assemble the Chilaquiles
  1. In a skillet over low heat, warm the poblano salsa with cherry tomatoes. Add tortilla chips and gently toss until just coated.
  2. Plate and top with cotija, avocado slices, radish, cilantro crema, and pistachio crumble. Finish with a fried egg on top.
