Method

Heat 2tbsp of the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 4 mins or until soft.
Add the tomatoes and sauté for a further 3-4 mins or until soft. Season and stir in the jalapenos. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
Wipe out the pan and heat the remaining oil. Gently crack the eggs into the hot fat and cook for 2-3 mins, depending how you like your eggs. Use a teaspoon to spoon a little hot oil over the egg yolks during cooking.
Warm the flour tortillas according to packet instructions. Divide the tomato mixture between them, then top each with a fried egg. Scatter over fresh coriander and serve.
