Steps

Prepare the Sauce

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and jalapeño, and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Cook the Sauce

Pour the diced tomatoes with their juice into the skillet. Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens and flavors meld. Stir occasionally.

Tortillas and Eggs

While the sauce is simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. In a separate pan, fry the eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up is common) in a little oil over medium heat, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble and Serve

Place 2 warm tortillas on each plate. Spoon a generous amount of the ranchero sauce over them, then carefully place 2 fried eggs on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges, optionally with sliced avocado and crumbled cheese.
