Instructions
- Heat one third of the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeños cooking until they becomes slightly tender. Then add the onion and garlic, and cook stirring until the onions start to become translucent.
- Pour in the tomatoes and lower the heat. Simmer covered until the tomato is cooked through and the mixture has reduced to a thick sauce.
- Season with some of the salt and pepper to taste, remove it from the heat and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil over medium temperature in a frying pan. Fry the eggs one at a time until the white has set and the egg has a crispy edge and runny yolk.
- Sprinkle the eggs with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Serve the eggs on the tomato sauce, and garnish with the queso fresco and cilantro. Serve with avocado on the side.
