📝Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped red onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

    Stir in the cherry tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

    Place the avocado halves cut side up into the skillet among the tomato mixture.

  6. 6

    Crack an egg into each avocado well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

  7. 7

    Mash the reserved avocado flesh with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  8. 8

    Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with a side of mashed avocado and lime wedges.
