Ingredients
- 2 egg large
- 2 corn tortillas
- 2 Tbsp neutral cooking oil canola, vegetable or avocado, generic cooking oil
- salt Kosher salt
- black pepper Kosher salt
- ¼ cup Tomatillo Salsa Verde
- ¼ cup salsa Mexicana or your favorite red salsa
- ½ cup refried beans
Optional Toppings
- queso fresco
- avocado
Instructions
Frying the tortilla
- Brush each side of the tortillas with some oil (about 1 tablespoon). You can use your fingers or a brush. This helps to keep the amount of oil you use very low.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat and briefly fry the tortillas one by one. Place on a plate with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Set aside on the serving plate.
Cup of Yum
Cooking the eggs
- Heat nonstick skillet over medium heat (note #1: You may add a little more oil or butter if you think your eggs may stick).
- Carefully break eggs into the skillet, and cook until the whites are just set on top and the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. (note #2: You can cook the eggs one at the time, or cook them together and separate in the middle with the spatula before serving)
- Place each egg on top of each tortillas and season with salt & pepper. Separate the eggs with refried beans in the middle. Pour some Tomatillo Salsa on one egg, and the Red Salsa on the other egg.
- Top with queso fresco and avocado on the side. (note #3: You can eat them like tacos or simply slice the eggs and tortilla with a knife as you eat. Choice is yours!)
Notes
- Fry tortillas with just enough oil to crisp but keep them pliable, or fry longer for tostada-style crispiness.
- Calorie count excludes refried beans serving.
