Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook polenta until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and keep warm until ready to use.
3. To make salsa, combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; mix well to coat.
4. To assemble meal, place one polenta round on each of 4 plates. Top each with an egg and about 1/3 cup of salsa.

If you don't have polenta, use slices of toasted whole wheat bread instead and the points will be reduced. This is a very filling Mexican meal that your whole family will love and come back for more. Ths salsa is PACKED with flavor and it also goes great with chips, chicken, fish, pork and beef as well. So if you can't go to Mexico, let Mexico come to you with this dish.
