Steps

  1. Cook the onion and jalapeño in the oil 5 minutes, add the tomatoes and cumin, and simmer 10 minutes until thick. Season.

  2. Crisp the tortillas in a dry skillet, about 1 minute per side.

  3. Fry the eggs in a little oil until the whites set and the yolks stay runny.

  4. Spread beans on the tortillas, top with eggs and sauce, and finish with cheese, cilantro, and avocado.

Runny yolk is the sauce — cook them hard only if you prefer.

Food safety Cook eggs to firm whites; cook yolks fully for anyone vulnerable.
