Add the can of plum tomatoes and press down on the tomatoes until they’re pulped into a more consistent sauce. Add a teaspoon of chipotle paste and stir through. Crack the four eggs into the pan (push the sauce mixture aside to make room for the eggs as close to the base of the pan this will help the eggs cook quicker) Cook for around 2-4 minutes (until the whites are almost cooked) then put under the grill for a further two minutes. Garnish with cheese, coriander, jalapeños and sour cream.
