steps:
- step: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, bell peppers, and garlic; cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and the onion has turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
- step: While the vegetables cook, combine the tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and chile pepper into a bowl and mix briefly.
- step: Pour the tomato mixture into the skillet, and stir to combine.  Simmer covered for about 10 minutes. _Do not cook off the juices, these are necessary for poaching the eggs._
- step: Make four indentations in the tomato mixture for the eggs. Crack the eggs into the indentations. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook until they're firm but not dry, about 5 minutes.
