Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons cotija or feta cheese (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- 4 lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and jalapeño, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.
In a separate non-stick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until crisp. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook the eggs to your preference (sunny-side up is traditional). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
To assemble, place a crispy tortilla on each plate. Top each tortilla with a fried egg and generously spoon the tomato-jalapeño sauce over the top.
Optionally garnish with crumbled cotija or feta cheese, sliced avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
