Ingredients
  

Essential Components
  • 4 pieces Corn Tortillas
  • 4 pieces Eggs Opt for free-range or organic for better flavor.
  • 1 cup Black Beans, Rinsed and Drained Choose low-sodium canned beans.
  • 1/2 cup Salsa or Hot Sauce Adjust according to your spice preference.
  • 1 piece Avocado, Sliced
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, Chopped
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Olive Oil for Cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Add the corn tortillas one at a time, frying them until warm and slightly crispy, about 30-45 seconds per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook to your desired doneness—whether sunny-side up or over-easy, ensure they form delicate whites with soft, runny yolks.
  2. On a plate, layer a tortilla, pile on a generous portion of black beans, and top with a fried egg.
  3. Drizzle your choice of salsa or hot sauce over the top, add slices of creamy avocado, and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.
  4. Finish with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
