Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the ground beef and black bean mixture, if desired. See the link above for the recipe.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla and cook on both sides until crispy and golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Place on a paper towel to drain.
  3. Add water to a large saucepan, filling it two-thirds full; bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.
  4. Coat a poaching cup (or custard cup) with butter or cooking spray then place in the water.
  5. Break the egg into the cup then cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes or until the whites are firm but the yolk is soft.
  6. Layer the crisp tortilla with the warmed beef and bean mixture, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, olives, and green onions.
  7. Place the poached egg on top, add a few more green onions, and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  8. Serve immediately with salsa and guacamole. Enjoy.
