Ingredients

  • Corn tortillas
  • Eggs
  • Avocado or olive oil
  • Shredded cheese

Salsa

  • 1/2 of a tomato
  • 1/2 of a small white onion
  • 2/3 of an Anaheim chili pepper
  • 8oz can of tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp of corn starch
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder

Instructions

Start with the salsa

  1. While dicing up the tomato, onion, and chili pepper, heat up a pan with oil on a medium to low heat
  2. Throw the tomato, onion, and chili pepper into the pan and mix it up with the oil.
  3. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste and cooking for a few minutes until the onion is translucent.
  4. Add the can of tomato sauce and cook for a few minutes.
  5. Fill 2/3 of the empty can with water and throw into the pan while mixing. Cook for a few minutes.
  6. Fill 1/3 of the can with cold water, mix in the corn starch, and throw into the pan while mixing.
  7. Cover and let simmer.

The rest

  1. While the salsa is cooking, heat up a small pan with oil, and heat up another pan with about a tablespoon of oil for the eggs
  2. While frying your eggs, fry both sides of the corn tortillas (flipping the tortilla over to get the other side). You will need one tortilla per egg.
  3. Place two tortillas side by side on a plate, put one egg on top of each tortilla, and top with a good amount of salsa along with shredded cheese.
