Ingredients
2 Corn tortillas
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Refried beans
1/4 cup Salsa Roja (or tomato chili sauce)
1/2 Avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons Red onion, diced
2 tablespoons Cotija or feta cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro, chopped
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black pepper
Instructions
1. Toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute per side until slightly crisp. Set aside.
2. Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through. Spread a layer over each tortilla.
3. In a skillet, heat oil and fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. Sunny-side-up is traditional.
4. Place a fried egg on top of each tortilla layered with beans. Spoon salsa over the egg generously.
5. Garnish with red onion, avocado slices, crumbled cheese, fresh cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
For the best texture, toast your tortillas until lightly crisp before layering the toppings.
Use homemade or high-quality store-bought salsa for a punch of authentic flavor.
Always add salsa after the beans to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy.
