Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 15 oz can pinto beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin (ground)
  • salt and pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 large avocado
  • 1 tomato (roma)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (fresh)
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper (seeded and minced)
  • 2 tbsp cilantro (fresh; chopped)
  • 8 eggs (large)
  • 4 tortillas (flour; warmed (6- or 8-inch))
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese (crumbled)
  • hot sauce (such as Cholula or El Tapatio, for serving)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 200˚F
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the garlic and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, 1/2 cup water, the cumin, and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the water evaporates and the flavors infuse, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Meanwhile, dice the avocado and tomato and mix them together in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the lime juice, jalapeño, cilantro, and a big pinch of salt; set aside.
  • In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Fry 4 of the eggs sunny-side up, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • While the eggs cook, place 1 warm tortilla on each plate. Divide the beans among them, and then top 2 of them with 2 of the fried eggs. Put the plates in the oven to keep warm while you repeat to fry the remaining eggs and top the other tortillas.
  • To serve, spoon the avocado salsa over the eggs and beans, and garnish with a sprinkling of cheese. Pass hot sauce at the table, and enjoy.
