Tortillas

Eggs and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    Dice the tomatoes and onion. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeño, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Make the Ranchero Sauce

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Once done, remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.

  3. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.), about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    To assemble, place two warm tortillas on each plate. Spoon a generous amount of ranchero sauce over the tortillas, followed by two eggs on top. Finish by garnishing with sliced avocado and additional cilantro if desired.
