Paired with tortillas and salsa, this recipe provides a flavorful and satisfying meal that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl.
- Have the tortillas, chili powder, olive oil, and salsa sauce ready for quick access.
- 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.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully pour the eggs into the skillet.
- Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of chili powder evenly over 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.
- 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.
- Place one tortilla on each plate.
- Carefully transfer a fried egg onto each tortilla.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of salsa sauce over each egg.
- 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!
