Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 cup cooked refried beans
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño or serrano pepper (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 piece lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup cotija cheese or crumbled feta (optional)
- 1 piece avocado (optional, sliced)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and jalapeño (if using). Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the diced tomatoes, ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the salsa thickens slightly. Stir in the chopped cilantro and squeeze in the juice of half a lime. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. One at a time, lightly fry the corn tortillas until they are golden and crisp on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
Using the same skillet, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness (sunny-side-up is traditional). Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper while they cook.
To assemble, place a crispy tortilla on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of refried beans on top, followed by a spoonful of the prepared salsa. Place a fried egg on top.
Garnish with cotija cheese, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
