Ingredients
Pico De Gallo
- 2 medium tomato
- ½ cup onion white, diced
- ¼ to ½ cups cilantro stems removed and finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp lime juice 15 mL
- ¼ tsp salt
Healthy Refried Beans
- 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil 15 mL, generic cooking oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 oz can black beans drained, 425 g
- 1 tsp lime juice 5 mL
- ½ tsp cumin
- plash of water
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
The Rest
- 4 small corn tortillas
- 1 Tbsp neutral cooking oil 15 mL, generic cooking oil
- 4 large egg
- cheese topping options, cheese types: cotija, feta, or Monterey Jack
- avocado
- cilantro
- hot sauce
Instructions
- Pico de Gallo: In a medium bowl, combine all Pico de Gallo ingredients and set aside.
- Beans: Heat oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and drained beans, cooking until beans are warm. Remove from heat and use a fork to mash the beans. Stir in remaining Refried Beans ingredients, adding a tablespoon or so of water as needed to give the beans a creamy, fluffy texture. Season with salt and pepper, then cover to keep warm.
- Tortillas: Heat a clean saute pan over medium heat. Warm tortillas individually, then wrap them in a clean towel to keep warm.
- Eggs: Heat oil in your saute pan over medium heat. When oil is hot, crack eggs into the pan (you may need to work in batches to prevent eggs from running into each other). Cook the eggs, tilting the pan occasionally to distribute the oil, until whites are set but yolk is still runny, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Assemble: Spread refried beans onto each tortilla. Top each with an egg, Pico de Gallo, and your desired toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes
- This does not store well once assembled, but you can make the Pico de Gallo and refried beans in advance.
