4 servings
Instructions
- Heat oil in a non stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds per side. Remove them and set aside on a paper towel lined plate cover with tea towel to keep warm.
- In the same pan add some more oil and fry the onion, garlic and red peppers for about 5 minutes, or until peppers are just beginning to soften and onion becomes transparent.
- Add in tomatoes, salsa dip, cumin, cayenne (if using), salt and pepper to your taste, and bring to the boil. Reduce heat down to low and continue to simmer for a further 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to reduce down. (Add in 1/4 cup of water if it's too thick for your liking). Taste test the sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
- Make 4 wells in the tomato sauce mixture and crack eggs as quickly as you can into each to ensure an even cooking time.
- Continue cooking, undisturbed, until done to your liking. (For faster cooking, cover pan or skillet with a lid, checking every so often that they don't over cook).
- Serve eggs with sauce over tortillas, with sliced jalapeños, avocados, cheese and cilantro leaves.
