3 cups Tomato Sauce for Tortas (1 1/2 recipe)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
8 large eggs (2 eggs per person)
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 to 2 jarred jalapeño pepper (en escabeche), seeded and cut into strips
Chopped fresh cilantro

Prepare the tomato sauce. Cover and keep warm. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium heat until hot. Cook the eggs in the preferred style (scrambled, fried, or poached) to the desired doneness. Season with salt and transfer to individual shallow soup plates or serving plates. Pour about 1/2 cup of heated tomato sauce over each serving. Garnish with the chile strips and chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
