Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 25 minutes
Total: 35 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4-6 large eggs
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, and ground cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
