Easy Mexican Spicy Baked Eggs

This is an adaptation of the Mexican Huevos Rancheros which is generally a fried tortilla,  topped with a spicy tomato salsa and a couple of fried eggs. Here I have just removed the 'fried' part to make a quick, healthy, filling Sunday morning breakfast with a nice spicy kick!

The chilli sauce that you add can be any type you like. I used my Chipotle In Adobe sauce, (recipe here) - but you can use any kind you choose.

Ingredients:      (Serves 2)

1 tsp. olive oil
1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
400g tin chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp. good chilli sauce
4 eggs
fresh coriander, to serve
1 chopped green chilli, to serve
4 flour tortillas

Method:

Gently cook the onion and red pepper in the oil in a small pan until soft. Add the tinned tomatoes and stir. Add 1-2 tbsp. of a good chilli sauce and cook on a medium heat to thicken slightly. Season with salt & a grind of black pepper. Put into a shallow dish. Make four wells in the tomato salsa and gently break an egg into each hole. Pop in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the white looks set.

Warm the tortillas up in the microwave for about 1 minute and serve with the salsa and egg in the middle (see serving picture at the bottom of this page). Top with fresh chopped coriander and the green chilli. Eat while still steaming hot!
