Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 4 large eggs
  • Chipotle powder to taste
  • Sea salt to taste

To Serve, Optional

  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro fresh coriander, finely chopped
  • 4 oz 100g Monterey-Jack cheese, shredded
  • Refried Beans*
  • Salsa**

Instructions

  • Tip: The instructions below include an optional step of frying each corn tortilla in olive oil until slightly crispy around the edges. Another alternative is to toast the tortillas in a dry, non-stick skillet.
  • Optional Step: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add corn tortillas, one at a time, to the skillet and fry for 15-20 seconds on each side, just until the tortillas begin to crisp around the edges. Transfer to a plate and blot off excess oil with paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and fry the eggs sunny-side-up in the leftover oil, just until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Season with chipotle powder and sea salt, to taste, and remove from heat.
  • Top each tortilla with a sunny-side-up egg and serve immediately with choice of diced avocado, fresh cilantro, shredded Monterey-Jack cheese, refried beans, and/or spicy salsa on the side. Enjoy!
