The poached eggs add a silky texture that pairs wonderfully with the crispy, warm tortillas. The dish is great for brunch or a festive breakfast, adding a zesty kick to your morning routine.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs

• 2 flour tortillas

• 1 ripe avocado, sliced

• 1 cup salsa (your preferred level of spiciness)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon vinegar (for poaching)

• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

• 1/4 cup hollandaise sauce

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and warm the tortillas until slightly crispy but still pliable. Set them aside.

2. For the poached eggs, bring water and vinegar to a simmer in a deep pan. Crack the eggs into small bowls or cups, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and yolks are still runny.

3. While the eggs are poaching, warm the salsa in a small pot on low heat.

4. To assemble, place one tortilla on each plate, then layer with sliced avocado.

5. Once the eggs are ready, carefully remove them from the water and place them on top of the avocado layer.

6. Spoon the warm salsa over the eggs, followed by a generous drizzle of hollandaise sauce.

7. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, Mexican-inspired brunch delight.
