- 1/4 cup high heat oil (for frying)
- 12 corn tortillas (quartered)
- 15 oz fire roasted tomatoes (diced, ~1 can)
- 1/2 onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 jalapeño (chopped, see notes)
- 1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
- 2 eggs (sunny side up)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 oz cotija cheese (crumbled, or more or less as desired)
- fresh cilantro (chopped)
Steps
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmery. Add the tortilla wedges in batches and cook, flipping as needed, until golden. Remove, drain, and lightly salt.
Place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotle or jalapeño, and oregano in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the sauce into a large skillet and cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thick 5-10 minutes. Taste and season with salt.
Add the chips to the sauce and stir carefully, coating all the chips, until the chips are slightly soft and heated through, 1-5 minutes depending on how crunchy you want your chips.
Top with fried eggs, avocado, cheese, and cilantro and enjoy immediately.
