Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
- 1 small, finely chopped white onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 small, finely chopped jalapeno
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 1 sliced into wedges lime
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and jalapeno to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes along with their juice, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla on both sides for about 30 seconds, until warmed and slightly crispy. Place the tortillas on serving plates.
In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side-up or to your desired doneness. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper as they cook.
To assemble, spoon the tomato sauce evenly over the tortillas. Place a fried egg on top of each tortilla.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, crumbled cotija cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
