  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 medium ripe tomatoes, diced (about 250 g)

1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped (about 30 g)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (about 15 g)

2 Tbsp lime juice (about 30 ml)

1/4 tsp fine-grain sea salt

2 tsp olive oil

1/4 cup white onion, finely chopped (about 30 g)

1/4 tsp fine-grain sea salt

1 tsp ground cumin

1 can black beans or pinto beans, rinsed and drained (15 oz or about 425 g)

1/4 cup water (about 60 ml)

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/2 tsp lime juice

1 1/2 cups red salsa (about 360 ml)

4 tsp olive oil, divided

4 large eggs

4 corn tortillas (about 6-inch or 15 cm each)

1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, optional (about 55 g)

Freshly ground black pepper, to finish

crumbled Cotija or feta cheese (optional)

sliced avocado (optional)

extra chopped cilantro (optional)

hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1-First, make the pico de gallo by combining the diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Set it aside to let the flavors meld.

2-Next, for the refried beans, heat 2 tsp olive oil in a saucepan, add the chopped onion and salt, and sautรฉ for 3 to 6 minutes until softened.

3-Stir in the cumin and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the beans and water. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, mash about half the beans with a fork, and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Season with pepper and lime juice, and keep it covered.

4-Warm the salsa in a small saucepan until it’s at a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to keep it warm. For the tortillas, warm each one in a dry skillet for 30 to 45 seconds per side and keep them covered to stay soft. Assemble by spreading the bean mixture on each tortilla and adding cheese if you like.

5-Finally, fry the eggs one at a time in 1 tsp olive oil until the whites are set and the yolks are as you prefer, then place one on each tortilla. Top with the warm salsa, pico de gallo, a pinch of black pepper, and any garnishes. For special twists, I sometimes adapt it based on what I’ve shared in my dietary tips section.
