Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium. Add 1/2 chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 2 cups tomato sauce and 1 tsp chili powder. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt.

  3. Step 3

    In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium. Crack 4 eggs and fry until whites are set but yolks are runny, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the warm sauce over the eggs in the pan. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese on top and cover until melted, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Slice 1 avocado and arrange over the eggs. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Serve hot with tortillas or bread.
