Instructions
Adjust oven rack to upper third position and heat broiler. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Place tomatoes and chilies on sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and arrange in single layer. Broil until tomatoes and chilies begin to char, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking. Note that all broilers are different and attention should be paid to the vegetables as they cook.
Transfer baking sheet to cooling rack and allow to cool 5 minutes.
Transfer tomatoes and chilies to food processor and pulse until a chunky, salsa-like consistency is reached.
Heat additional 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add tomato-chili mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar and continue cooking until sauce is thick but still juicy, about 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer sauce to bowl and cover to keep warm.
Thoroughly wipe out skillet.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat.
Add eggs and season with salt and pepper. Once whites begin to turn opaque and set, reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook until egg yolks reach desired consistency, 2 to 4 minutes.
Transfer eggs to plate, cover with sauce, and serve with warmed tortillas.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. One wine you could try is Dutton-Goldfield Emerald Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 58 dollars.

Dutton-Goldfield Emerald Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir
The 2016 vintage of their Emerald Ridge Pinot is especially focused and lively, beautifully showcasing its Green Valley roots. Bright cherry, cigar box, and rhubarb pie aromas lead the way, followed by darker scents of blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry blossom after time in the glass. Savory notes of thyme, cardamom and clove provide an extra layer of complexity. The mouth is full of sweet cherry/berry plush fruit, carried on firm tannins, giving the wine that lusciousness that keeps you coming back for more. Dark cherry pie with nutmeg spice echoes in the energetic finish. The salty, tangy notes of an aged goat cheddar bring out the sweet fruit in the wine, as does a savory smoky glazed ham, or mushroom bruschetta.
