Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm the 4 corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 1 minute per side. Wrap in foil to keep warm.

  2. Step 2

    Fry the 4 eggs in a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium heat until whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Place 1 tortilla on each plate, top with 1 fried egg, and spoon 1/4 cup salsa over each.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the 1 avocado and divide among the plates. Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
