Ingredients

Servings

For the warm salsa

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion small, finely chopped
  • 1 tomato canned, good quality, chopped peeled, in tin
  • 2 chipotle in adobo sauce minced, 3 tablespoons
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Pinch salt

Pico de gallo

  • ½ onion red or white, finely chopped - about ½ cup
  • ½ lime juiced
  • 3 tomato seeds removed and diced into a similar size as the onions, smallish ripe
  • ¼ - ½ jalapeno chili or Serrano chili, finely chopped
  • salt
  • black pepper

You will also need

  • 160 gms aprox of a sharp hard cheese such as mature Cheddar, grated
  • 4 egg free-range, fried to preference
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 avocado peeled and sliced into wedges.
  • Coriander fresh leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive in a small-medium pot and fry the onion until it starts to soften (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add the tinned tomatoes, chipotle in adobo sauce, cumin and salt. Allow this to simmer gently for about 15 minutes over low heat.
  3. While the salsa is simmering, make your pico de gallo by first placing the onion into a bowl, and then squeezing over the lime.
  4. Then add the tomatoes, chilli and salt. Do not mix this and allow the onions to marinate for a few minutes in the juice from the lime and tomatoes. Stir this just before you serve.
  5. Fry the eggs to your liking and keep them in the pan to remain warm.
  6. Heat the flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds each or dry-fry them on each side in a non-stick pan until they are heated through.
  7. To assemble spread the warm tomato salsa over the base of the 4 flour tortillas and sprinkle over the grated cheese. If you want to melt the cheese, you can pop it into the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Or put the tortilla on a skillet and pop it under a hot grill. Top with the fried egg, pico de gallo, sliced avocado and fresh coriander.
  8. PS – any leftover salsa or pico is delicious served on your eggs and toast the next day or with corn chips as a dip
