Servings: 2 servings
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 piece corn tortilla
  • 1/4 cup refried black beans (leftover or canned)
  • 1/4 avocado (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons Quick-Pickled Red Onions (or Quick-Pickled Radishes and Carrots)
  • 1 tablespoon Ancho-lada Sauce (leftover or store-bought)
  • a pinch alfalfa sprouts (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish)
  • Crumbled cotija cheese (for topping)
  • Lime wedge (for serving)

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Small bowl
  • Spatula
  • Plate
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the corn tortilla and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel.
  2. In the same skillet, crack one large egg and cook to your desired doneness. For sunny-side-up, cook until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
  3. If using leftover refried black beans, warm them in a small saucepan over low heat. If using canned beans, drain and rinse before warming.
  4. On the crispy tortilla, spread the warm refried black beans evenly. Top with the cooked egg, sliced avocado, quick-pickled onions, and drizzle with Ancho-lada sauce.
  5. Garnish with crumbled cotija cheese, fresh cilantro leaves, and alfalfa sprouts if using. Serve with a lime wedge on the side.

Notes

  • Ensure the tortilla is crispy by cooking longer if too soft.
  • Keep heat medium to cook the egg perfectly.
  • Quick pickle your own vegetables by soaking in vinegar and salt for 15 minutes.
