Method (preview)

1. 1

   In a medium-size saucepan, heat the oil, add the chopped onion, and fry over medium heat until the onion is translucent.

2. 2

   Add tomato juice, garlic, chiles, herbs, and salt.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Warm the tortillas by wrapping in foil and placing on the 4 serving plates (Mexican pottery if possible) in the warm oven.

5. 5

   First break an egg into a cup, then stir the water in the frying pan vigorously in a circular motion.

6. 6

   As you stir, slide the egg from the cup into the water.

7. 7

   Cover the pan when all eggs have been added.

8. 8

   To assemble the dish, place a tortilla on a plate.

9. 9

   Top with a circle of avocado slices, then arrange a drained poached egg (or 2 eggs) on top, spoon sauce over, and sprinkle with cheese.

10. 10

    Place in the oven until cheese melts.

11. 11

    Add the lettuce garnish after the cheese has melted.

12. 12

    Variation: Instead of the tortillas, rinse large "cupped" iceberg lettuce leaves and serve the eggs topped with sauce in the lettuce leaves.
