Units Scale

Main Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes or fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Additional Ingredients:

  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija or feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Heat olive oil in a skillet, sauté onion and jalapeño, add garlic, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened.
  2. Cook the Tortillas: Warm tortillas in the sauce, then create wells for eggs.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Crack eggs into the wells, cover, and cook until desired doneness.
  4. Finish and Serve: Top with cheese, cilantro, avocado slices, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For crispier tortillas, fry them separately and place under the eggs before serving.
  • Add black beans or chorizo for extra protein.
  • Try salsa verde instead of tomatoes for a zesty variation.
