Single-Serving Huevos Rancheros

I've only started making this one for my breakfasts recently, but I've come to love it. It's simple and delicious. I usually make it without a meat/protein of any kind, save for the egg, but adding one in wouldn't be difficult. Like the Baked Penne recipe, this can also be expanded out for a family fairly easily.

Single-Serving Huevos Rancheros
1 6" Whole wheat tortilla (this is what I use, personally, but you can use whatever variety of tortilla takes your fancy)
1 Large egg
1/2 cup Pepper and onion mixture (same stuff from the Baked Penne recipe)
1/4 cup Canned diced tomatoes
1/4 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp Ground cumin
1/4 tsp Dried oregano
Pinch of Smoked paprika, Cayenne pepper
A couple drops of hot sauce
S+P to taste

1. If you're using a non-stick pan, begin heating it over medium to medium-high heat. If not, may whatever gods there are have mercy on you, but heat 1 Tbsp of canola oil over the same heat.

2. Wrap the tortilla in microwave safe paper towels, and place in the microwave. Set for 20 seconds, but don't start it yet. If you want to use another method to warm up your tortilla, that's fine.

3. Crack the egg into the pan, and cook however you'd like (I go for Over Easy, myself). Start the microwave once the egg is in the pan.

4. Once the microwave goes off, and your egg is done, slide the egg onto the tortilla, and put it where it will be kept warm.

5. Saute the pepper and onion mixture in the same pan you cooked the egg in (if you aren't using a non-stick, you'll need to heat a little bit more oil first).

6. Add the tomatoes, S+P, spices, and hot sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour over the egg and tortilla.

7. Top with cheese, and enjoy!
