Instructions: Saute onion and pepper in bacon drippings. Add tomatoes with some juice (a small amount of water may need to be added with fresh tomatoes). Add chile and seasonings to taste and simmer slowly, at least 20 minutes until sauce is moderately thick.

Prepare eggs as desired.

Heat tortillas on a hot dry griddle or hold over a gas burner. If you prefer tortillas crisp and crunchy, fry in shortening, taking care not to brown.

Place 1 egg on each tortilla. Pour over 1 tablespoon sauce. Serve immediately. Top with grated cheese, if desired.

Yield: 6 servings
