- 8 oz Fideo pasta (see above)
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
- 3 roma tomatoes

- Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, and about 1/2 cup of vegetable broth to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Place a pot on medium heat and add oil. Once oil is hot, add the fideo and fry until golden brown. Move frequently to avoid burning!
- Once fideo is golden brown, add the tomato puree and let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour vegetable broth into the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, quickly reduce to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until fideo is soft but not breaking apart.
- Taste and add salt as needed. Serve with a bit of cilantro and a side of tortillas.
