To serve
Can be served as a table meal straight out of the pan onto plates or looks really nice served on a large colourful plate—think

Method
Sauté the onions in olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Once the onions are translucent, add green peppers, red peppers, garlic clove, spinach, the tomatoes and their juices, chopped red chilies and Chipotle chili powder.
Add the eggs (3-4 minutes for runny eggs).
Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and let simmer while you do the rest of the cooking, stirring occasionally. Reduce to warm after it has been simmering for 10 minutes. Add salt and black pepper.
