Spicy fried eggs

Spicy fried eggs are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast dish, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of heat to start their day. Paired with tortillas and salsa, this recipe provides a flavorful and satisfying meal that’s quick and easy to prepare. With just a few ingredients, you can elevate your morning routine and impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
150g
3 tortillas
70g
1 tbsp chili powder
8g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
3 tbsp salsa sauce
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl.
- Have the tortillas, chili powder, olive oil, and salsa sauce ready for quick access.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Allow the oil to heat up until it shimmers, but not smoking.
3. Cook the Eggs:
- Once the oil is hot, carefully pour the eggs into the skillet.
- Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of chili powder evenly over the eggs.
4. Fry the Eggs:
- Let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
5. Warm the Tortillas:
- While the eggs are frying, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a separate skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally until pliable and heated through, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Alternatively, warm them directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side for a slightly charred flavor.
6. Assemble the Dish:
- Place one tortilla on each plate.
- Carefully transfer a fried egg onto each tortilla.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of salsa sauce over each egg.
7. Serve:
- Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your spicy fried eggs with tortillas as a flavorful and quick breakfast or brunch option!

Tips:

- Adjust the amount of chili powder based on your heat tolerance. Start with a smaller amount if you’re unsure, and add more if needed.

- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure your eggs cook evenly and don’t stick to the pan.

- For added flavor, sprinkle some chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro or green onions on top of the eggs before serving.

- Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to make them more pliable and enhance their flavor.

- Try different types of salsa to find your favorite combination. A chunky salsa or a smoother sauce can both work well.

In just a few simple steps, you’ve created a delicious and spicy breakfast that’s sure to become a favorite. Whether you’re enjoying it alone or sharing it with family, spicy fried eggs with tortillas and salsa offer a perfect blend of heat and comfort. Don't forget to customize the level of spiciness to suit your preference. Enjoy your meal!
