It's perfect for a lazy weekend morning or even a weeknight treat when you're craving something comforting and flavorful. Don't be intimidated by the name; this is truly an easy recipe that even beginner cooks can master.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 4 corn tortillas
• 1 cup salsa (your favorite kind)
• 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or a Mexican blend)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Optional toppings: avocado slices, sour cream, hot sauce

Instructions

1. Warm the tortillas: Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Briefly fry each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until softened and slightly pliable. Place warmed tortillas in a tortilla warmer or wrap them in foil to keep them warm.
2. Heat the salsa: In a small saucepan, gently heat the salsa over low heat. Do not boil.
3. Fry the eggs: Add the remaining vegetable oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them to your desired doneness (sunny-side up is traditional).
4. Assemble: Place two warm tortillas on each plate. Spoon some warm salsa over the tortillas.
5. Top and serve: Carefully place two fried eggs on top of the salsa-covered tortillas. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro. Add any optional toppings you desire. Serve immediately.
