Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Tortillas
- Corn or flour tortillas, quantity as needed
Eggs
- 4 large eggs
Refried Beans
- 1 can or 1 cup homemade refried beans
Tomato Sauce
- 1 cup homemade or store-bought tomato sauce
Avocado
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
Fresh Cilantro
- 1/4 cup, chopped
Feta or Cotija Cheese
- 1/2 cup, crumbled
Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Chop the cilantro, slice the avocado, and have your tortillas and beans ready.
- Cook the Beans: If using canned refried beans, heat them in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. If making homemade refried beans, be sure to mash them to your desired consistency.
- Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, lightly toast the tortillas on both sides until they are warm and slightly crisp. This step is crucial to avoid sogginess once assembled.
- Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack in your eggs and cook them until the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny. Alternatively, cook until your desired doneness.
- Assemble the Dish: Place each tortilla on a plate, spread a layer of warm refried beans, add a fried egg on top, and drizzle with tomato sauce. Don’t forget to sprinkle with cilantro and cheese.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for ripe avocados and fresh cilantro for the best flavor.
- Customize Spice Levels: Adjust the spices in your sauce according to your personal preference for heat.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the dish while everything is warm and fresh for the best experience.
- Experiment with Sauces: Feel free to try different salsas or hot sauces to discover new flavor profiles.
