Preparation:
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat. Add the onions and brown them for a minute or two. Add the chopped tomatoes and let them cook for a few minutes on medium high until they are somewhat cooked and mushy and some of the moisture has evaporated. It's okay if the tomatoes brown a bit. Add the oregano. Add the jalapeño. 

Crack the eggs directly into the pan with the sauce. Add salt. Stir the mixture with a spatula to mix in the sauce and to lightly scramble the eggs. Remove from heat when the eggs are cooked to the desired consistency. If you are using a cast iron pan, remove the eggs from the pan and put into a serving bowl. Otherwise the eggs will continue to cook in the heat of the pan. Sprinkle the eggs with cilantro. 

Serve with bread or heated tortillas. Serves 2 or 3, depending on how many eggs per person you want.
