- 01
Heat a thin film of oil in a large skillet. Warm the tortillas until flexible with lightly crisp edges, then divide them among four plates.
- 02
Fry the eggs in the same skillet to your preferred doneness, seasoning them with salt and black pepper.
- 03
Spoon warm salsa over each pair of tortillas and top with two fried eggs.
- 04
Finish with sliced onion, queso fresco, and cilantro. Serve while the tortillas are still crisp at the edges.

Useful swaps
- Use cotija or feta in place of queso fresco.
- Skip the cheese for a dairy-free plate.
Why this is a good weeknight call
It keeps the cleanup to one main pan. The ingredient list stays focused, and the recipe has a clear stopping point instead of extra optional projects.
