How to Make Mexican Fried Eggs

  1. Heat 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Crack 2 large eggs gently into the skillet.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  4. If desired, flip the eggs for a firmer yolk (cook for an additional 1-2 minutes).
  5. Pour your favorite Mexican hot sauce (about 1-2 tablespoons per egg) over the eggs.
  6. Serve immediately with warm grilled pita bread.
