Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

With a hand blender or in a regular blender, mix the tomatoes, red bell pepper, and Chiplote. Grind thoroughly.
Then in a skillet fry the onion and garlic for about 4 minutes. Add the tomato mixture, season with a little bit of salt and chopped cilantro.
Prepare in a blender the Crema Mexicana with the jalapeño, lime zest and a some salt.
Then in an iron skillet or in a baking dish that can go in the oven, place the homemade tomato sauce, then the tortilla chips, carnitas, chopped Panela cheese, which can be taken to the oven for a few minutes at this point. Meanwhile, fry two eggs, which must be placed over the carnitas and cheese.
