Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
3 tablespoons Hunt's® Tomato Paste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
2 (14.5 ounce) cans Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes, undrained
½ cup water
salt and pepper to taste
6 eggs, or more as needed

Steps:

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add chopped roasted pepper and garlic; saute until garlic releases its fragrance, 1 or 2 minutes longer. Stir in tomato paste, chili powder and ancho chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Saute for another minute or so until well combined.
Stir in Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes and water. Season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium and cook about 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Make a well for each egg and pour 1 egg into each well. Cover; poach until whites are firm and yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use any other oven-proof skillet.
Be careful not to overcook the eggs. They should be cooked through but still have a runny yolk.
