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.
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.
Step 3
Warm the 1 cup tomato sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling, about 3 minutes.
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.
Step 5
Garnish with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with watermelon and mango on the side if desired.
