Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 tbsp minced jalapeño
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 cup tomato salsa
- 0.75 cup diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1.25 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 6 oz corn tortillas
- 7 oz large eggs about 4
- 0.5 cup crumbled queso fresco
- 0.5 cup sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Sauté onion and jalapeño until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in garlic for 30 seconds. Add salsa, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
- Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 5–7 minutes to thicken slightly, then fold in black beans to warm.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable. Stack and cover with a towel to keep warm.
- Heat remaining 0.5 tbsp oil in a nonstick pan. Fry eggs sunny-side up until whites set, 2–3 minutes.
- Layer tortillas with warm beans and sauce. Top each with an egg, queso fresco, avocado, and cilantro.
- Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and serve hot.
Notes
Variation: Add crispy chorizo or bacon beneath the egg, or swap black beans for pinto beans. Prefer softer tortillas? Briefly pan-fry in a little oil for pliable, lightly crisp edges. Make-ahead tip: The sauce and beans keep 3–4 days refrigerated; reheat gently and fry eggs fresh for serving.
