Ingredients

• ½ cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder
• 1 (8 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.
