Step 1

SALSA

Step 2

Roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic and serrano chile.

Step 3

Add to your blender jar.

Step 4

Add 1/2 teaspoon thyme to the blender jar.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of water.

Step 6

Blend until smooth. About 1 minute.

Step 7

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a saucepan to hot.

Step 8

Carefully, pour the contents of the blender into the saucepan with the hot oil. (Be careful, the liquid tends to spatter.)

Step 9

Simmer for about 10 minutes until the salsa is deep red in color and has thickened slightly.

Step 10

Salt to taste.

Step 11

TORTILLAS

Step 12

Pour 1/2 cup of cooking oil into a medium sized frying pan. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep.

Step 13

Heat the oil to medium hot.

Step 14

Place the tortillas in the oil and fry for about 20 seconds on both sides. Fry them one at a time. Don't allow the tortilla to harden.

Step 15

Drain the tortillas of excess oil on paper towles and set aside.

Step 16

SUNNY SIDE UP EGGS

Step 17

Use the same cooking oil that you used to fry the tortillas to cook the eggs. Maintain the oil medium hot.

Step 18

Add two eggs to the hot oil and slightly tilt the pan to one side so that the eggs set closely together.

Step 19

Cook until the white are just cooked through and the yolks are still runny.

Step 20

SERVING

Step 21

Place 2 tortillas on your serving plate and add a good sized spoonful of refried beans.

Step 22

Gently place the eggs on the tortillas.

Step 23

Spoon the warm spicy tomato salsa over the eggs.

Step 24

Garnish the beans with 3 tortilla chips.

Step 25

Serve immediately.
