These fried eggs are served on tortillas and covered with a picante tomato sauce.

Ingredients:
The Sauce:
1 Tomato broiled
1 or 2 green chilies toasted
1/2 clove garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon of peanut oil
A thick slice of onion finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Blend the tomato, chilies and garlic together to a fairly smooth sauce. Heat the oil and cook the onion, without browning, until it is soft. Add the blended ingredients and salt and cook over a brisk flame for about 5 minutes.
To prepare the eggs:
Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil and fry two small tortillas lightly on both sides, place them on a dish. In the same oil fry the eggs, then place them on the tortillas. Cover the eggs with the warmed sauce and serve immediately.
