Notes
To make this a delicious, hearty meal, we love to serve this on a toasted corn tortilla or over some cooked brown rice.
Make ahead tip: The sauce can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for 5 days or frozen for months. When ready to make breakfast just place it back in the pan, bring back to a simmer and then add eggs.
