Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Keep warm and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly toast each corn tortilla for about 30-45 seconds on each side until they are slightly crisp but still pliable. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add a small amount of oil if needed. Carefully crack each egg into the skillet, cooking sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- To assemble, spread a generous layer of warm refried beans on each tortilla. Carefully place a cooked egg on top of the beans.
- Spoon San Antonio-style salsa over the eggs, ensuring good coverage. The salsa should be slightly chunky with a mix of roasted chili and tomato flavors.
- Garnish each plate with fresh avocado slices and chopped cilantro for added freshness and color.
- Serve immediately while eggs are hot and tortillas are crisp. Optionally, serve with additional salsa on the side for extra flavor.
Tips
- Tortilla Technique: Toast your corn tortillas just until they're slightly crisp but still pliable. This ensures the perfect texture that won't become too hard or break when you add toppings.
- Bean Brilliance: Warm your refried beans slowly and stir frequently to prevent burning. For extra flavor, consider adding a touch of cumin or garlic powder.
- Egg Mastery: For the most photogenic and delicious eggs, use fresh eggs and cook them sunny-side up. The runny yolk creates a delicious sauce that blends perfectly with the beans and salsa.
- Salsa Selection: If you can't find authentic San Antonio-style salsa, make your own by roasting tomatoes and chilis for that signature smoky flavor.
- Fresh is Best: Always add avocado and cilantro just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and fresh taste.
- Temperature Timing: Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the warm, crispy tortillas and the fresh, cool garnishes.
