Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 4 Fresh eggs
Tortillas
- 4 Corn tortillas
Tomato Sauce
- 2 Fresh tomatoes, diced
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Jalapeños, diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnishes
- 1 Avocado, diced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Lime, juiced
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: Start by dicing the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeños. In a skillet, heat some oil over medium heat, then add the onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and jalapeños, seasoning with salt and pepper, and let simmer until thickened.
- Cook the Tortillas: In another pan, warm the corn tortillas until they are soft and pliable. You can lightly fry them for a few minutes for a crispy texture or keep them soft if you prefer.
- Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet used for the sauce, crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Dish: Place a warm tortilla on a plate, spoon over the sauce, and top with the fried egg. Garnish with diced avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh produce enhances the flavors significantly, so opt for the best quality.
- Customize Your Eggs: Feel free to scramble the eggs if you prefer that texture over sunny-side up.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the sauce in advance to save time in the morning.
- Layering Flavor: Don’t be afraid to season each layer, from the sauce to the eggs.
- Experiment: Try different salsas or sauces to put your unique spin on the dish.
