Ingredients

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1-2 jalapeños, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, 28 ounces
  • 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles
  • ½ lime
  • 8 corn tortillas, lightly fried
  • 8 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces cheddar jack blend cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced, for garnish
  • Cilantro, for garnish

Preparation

In a sauté pan, sauté onions in canola oil with a pinch of salt for about 3 minutes. Add jalapeños and garlic, then sauté for another 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and green chiles and simmer for 10 minutes. Add a squeeze of lime, taste sauce and adjust seasonings as desired.

Preheat oven to 400°F. For individual servings, press one lightly fried tortilla into each ramekin, then ladle in ¼ cup of sauce. Crack one egg in the center, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with 1 ounce of cheese. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until egg is set but yolk is still runny.

For family service, line a large baking dish with lightly fried corn tortillas. Cover with tomato sauce, then use the back of a spoon or ladle to make small wells in the sauce. Crack eggs into wells, then season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until eggs are set but yolks are still runny. Serve with avocado slices and a sprinkle of cilantro.
