Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add 1 tbsp oil. Fry the 4 corn tortillas one at a time until crisp, about 1 minute per side; drain on paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, crack the 4 eggs and cook sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Warm the 1 cup tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Place each tortilla on a plate, top with a fried egg, spoon 1/4 cup of the warm tomato sauce over each, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese so it melts slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Garnish with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with watermelon and mango on the side if desired.
