Eggs, salsa, and beans layered on tortillas, topped with fresh garnishes for a vibrant, satisfying meal.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 cups red salsa, homemade or store-bought
02 - 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, undrained
03 - Salt, to taste
04 - Black pepper, to taste
05 - 1 teaspoon lime juice
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
07 - 4 large eggs
08 - 4 corn tortillas

→ Optional Garnishes

09 - Sliced avocado
10 - Guacamole
11 - Sour cream
12 - Crumbled Cotija cheese, queso fresco, or feta cheese
13 - Fresh cilantro leaves
14 - Pickled red onions
15 - Hot sauce

# Steps:

01 - If using homemade salsa, follow preparation directions. Reserve 1/3 cup salsa to use later with the beans.
02 - Pour remaining salsa into a large nonstick skillet. Gently simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
03 - Add the reserved 1/3 cup salsa to a large skillet. Stir in the black beans with their liquid and 1/4 cup water. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer over medium-high heat for 5 minutes until softened and slightly thickened.
04 - Take the skillet off heat and mix in lime juice. Mash about three-fourths of the beans until the mixture is thick and creamy. Cover the skillet to keep the beans warm.
05 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook each corn tortilla until edges are lightly crisp but the tortilla remains pliable, about 20 seconds per side. Transfer tortillas to a plate lined with paper towels.
06 - In the same skillet used for salsa, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook to preferred doneness, until whites are set and yolks are cooked as desired.
07 - Spread mashed beans over each tortilla, top with a cooked egg, and spoon warm salsa over the eggs.
08 - Finish with optional garnishes: sliced avocado, guacamole, sour cream, crumbled cheese, cilantro, pickled red onions, or hot sauce as desired.

# Notes:

01 - For crispier tortillas, briefly fry in oil until golden brown. If desired, eggs may be cooked to over-easy or sunny-side-up according to preference.
