- 2 cups Salsa verde or roja

Instructions

- Remove excess oil from the skillet, leaving about a tablespoon for the salsa. Add salsa to the skillet and heat until warm.

- In a separate frying pan, fry eggs to your liking (sunny-side up is traditional).
- Serve the sauced tortillas on plates, top each with a fried egg, and garnish with crumbled cheese, sour cream, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
For a lighter version, you can bake the tortilla wedges until crispy instead of frying. You can also add other toppings such as diced onions, chopped tomatoes, or sliced radishes.
