Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion, jalapeno pepper, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes then reduce the heat to low.
Crack the eggs into the sauce, making sure not to break the yolks. Cover the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
Meanwhile, heat the tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
Serve the huevos d'elena over the toasted tortillas and top with optional toppings, if desired.
