Preparation

  1. 1

    Blend the tinned tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt until smooth to make the salsa.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wide skillet over medium heat, pour in the blended salsa, and simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a separate small frying pan, fry eggs sunny-side up to your preferred doneness.

  4. 4

    Gently fold the tortilla chips into the simmering salsa in the skillet until evenly coated but still crisp.

  5. 5

    Divide the sauced chips across serving plates immediately.

  6. 6

    Top each plate with a fried egg, crumbled queso fresco, a drizzle of sour cream, avocado slices, and chopped coriander.

Cotija cheese can be used instead of queso fresco if available.
