Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup salsa roja
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 4 pieces corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 quarter cup crumbled queso fresco
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the refried beans to the skillet and cook until warm and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and heat over medium heat.
Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until warm and pliable. Set the tortillas aside on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side-up, seasoning with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
On each plate, place two tortillas side by side. Spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tortilla.
Top each tortilla with one sunny-side-up egg.
On one side of the egg, spoon salsa roja generously, and on the other side spoon salsa verde, ensuring a vibrant tricolor effect reminiscent of the Mexican flag.
Garnish each plate with chopped cilantro and crumbled queso fresco.
Serve immediately with a lime wedge for squeezing over the top to add a hint of freshness.
