How to Make Mexican Eggs

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. While the sauce simmers, fry 2 eggs to your liking. (For runny yolks, cook for 2-3 minutes; for fully cooked, cook for longer.)
  7. Warm 2 corn tortillas and 2 flour tortillas.
  8. Place a corn tortilla on a plate, top with the fried egg(s), and generously spoon the sauce over the egg and tortilla.
  9. Serve immediately with the warm flour tortillas for dipping into the leftover sauce.
