Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Herbs

    Chop the fresh parsley or cilantro and set aside for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Add the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Pour in the canned or fresh tomatoes. Stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

  4. 6

    Create Wells for Eggs

    Using a spoon, create four small wells in the tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each well.

  5. 7

    Cook the Eggs

    Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness.

  6. 8

    Garnish and Serve
