Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Corn tortillas
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 4 medium-sized Tomatoes
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 small White onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Refried beans (optional, for serving)
- 1 piece Avocado (optional, sliced for serving)
- 0.25 cup Crumbled queso fresco (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place the corn tortillas in the skillet, one at a time, and fry until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Set the tortillas on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with all tortillas and set aside.
In a blender, combine the tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, garlic, white onion (quartered), cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the sauce base.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour the blended sauce into the pan and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
In the same skillet used for frying the tortillas, add a little more oil if needed and heat over medium. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them to your desired doneness (sunny-side up is traditional). Season lightly with more salt and pepper, if desired.
To assemble, place two crispy tortillas on each serving plate. Spread a thin layer of refried beans (if using) over the tortillas. Top each tortilla with a fried egg.
Spoon the warm tomato-chili sauce generously over the eggs and tortillas.
Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, sliced avocado, or additional fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
