Preparations
Toast the chilies:
Lightly toast guajillo and ancho chilies on a hot griddle for a few seconds per side (don’t burn). Remove stems and seeds. Toast árbol chili quickly—it burns easily.
Make the sauce:
Blend chilies with garlic, onion, and ½ cup hot water until smooth and thick.
Fry the noodles:
Heat oil in a wide skillet. Add noodles and lightly fry until golden (don’t let them burn).
Add the sauce:
Pour the blended sauce over noodles. Stir and cook over medium-low heat for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and sauce has mostly reduced. Adjust salt.
Serve:
Plate the dry noodles. Add a spoonful of sour cream, sprinkle crumbled cheese, top with avocado slices, and garnish with pork rinds if desired.
