1
Prepare the Tortilla Cups
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the corn tortillas one at a time, frying each for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2
Fill the Tortilla Cups
Spoon the red or green chile con carne evenly into each crispy tortilla cup.
3
Cook the Eggs
In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over-easy, scrambled, etc.). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Assemble the Dish
Top each filled tortilla cup with a cooked egg and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while the tortilla cups are crispy and the cheese is melted.
