Ingredients
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 medium vine tomatoes (diced)
- 1/4 cup canned chopped green chiles (such as Old El Paso)
- Olive oil spray
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cumin
- 4 inch corn tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 4 tbsp crumbled cotija cheese (or queso blanco)
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium pan. Add onions and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, green chilies, cumin, salt and black pepper to taste and cook another few minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- In another medium non-stick pan or griddle, lightly spray the tortillas with oil on both sides and heat over medium-high heat until the tortillas get crispy and pockets or air bubbles start to form inside, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and lightly spray with more oil, add eggs, salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the whites set for sunny-side up or longer for your liking.
- To serve, place 2 tortillas on each plate, top with half of the tomatoes, 2 eggs, lettuce, cheese and cilantro.

Notes
- If you don’t like runny yolks, feel free to cook them longer or scramble the eggs instead.
- If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, sub in canned diced tomatoes.
- Swap the cotija or queso blanco for queso fresco or shredded cheddar.
- Make dairy-free by eliminating the cheese.
- Add chorizo for extra protein. Or if you want to keep them vegetarian, use soy chorizo.
- Add black beans or refried beans for more fiber.
- For extra spice, top the tortillas with fresh jalapeños or serve with hot sauce.
- Serve this meal with sliced avocados and sour cream on the side, if desired.
