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

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and jalapeno to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

To assemble, spoon the tomato sauce evenly over the tortillas. Place a fried egg on top of each tortilla.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, crumbled cotija cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 9

Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
