HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas one at a time for 30 seconds per side, until lightly golden and pliable. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

02

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced jalapeño. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

03

Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro.

04

While the salsa simmers, prepare the chipotle crema. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, minced chipotle in adobo, and 1 teaspoon of adobo sauce. Mix well until smooth.

05

In a separate non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the eggs one at a time to your desired doneness, typically 2-3 minutes for a runny yolk.

06

To assemble, place two fried tortillas on each plate. Spoon a generous amount of the warm salsa over the tortillas, then top each with a fried egg. Drizzle with the chipotle crema and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cumin or oregano to the salsa while it simmers. If you prefer a spicier dish, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in or add an extra chipotle pepper to the crema.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute flour tortillas for corn tortillas, though the texture will be softer. Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a tangier, healthier crema. For a vegetarian option, black beans can be added to the salsa.

Storage & Reheating
