This Fried Egg Tortilla dish is a flavorful and easy-to-prepare breakfast or brunch recipe. It combines the richness of a fried egg with the fresh, zesty flavors of salsa, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, and green onions, all served on a warm tortilla.
Ingredients
- 4 small corn or flour tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup salsa (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: shredded cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack
Directions
- Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas one at a time until they are lightly crispy, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary and heat over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry to your preference (either sunny-side up or over-easy).
- While the eggs are cooking, warm the salsa in a separate pan or in the microwave.
- Place each fried egg on a tortilla.
- Spoon a generous amount of warm salsa over each egg.
- Sprinkle the thinly sliced jalapeño peppers, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions over the top. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over each tortilla. The heat from the egg and salsa will help melt the cheese.
- Serve immediately while everything is still warm.
