Method

In a large, deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers, and jalapeños and cook until softened and beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juices, vegetable broth, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper; lower heat and simmer for 20 to 22 minutes, or until thickened.
Crack eggs on top of sauce; cover and cook
