2 Servings

Ingredients

  • Four 6-inch corn tortillas plus more for serving
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and diced or sliced
  • 1 16- ounce can refried beans optional
  • Sour cream optional
  • Cheese
  • 1 15- ounce can whole peeled tomatoes undrained, or 2 cups fresh, chopped tomatoes, peeled (about 6 whole tomatoes)
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 small jalapeno seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce optional
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Fresh pepper

Instructions

  • Salsa
  • In a food processor, combine the tomatoes with the juices and all the ingredients, and pulse. I like my salsa on the chunkier side, but some like it smoother. 
  • Process until desired consistency. 
  • Adjust the salt and pepper, if needed. 
  • Transfer salsa to a small skillet and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes until it has slightly thickened.
  • Tortillas 
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to your large skillet over medium to high heat. Add the corn tortillas, two at a time, until lightly golden, but not crisp (about 30 seconds). Flip and cook another 30 seconds. Cook the remaining tortillas, adding a bit more oil if needed. 
  • TIP: Place corn tortillas in the microwave in a stack for 20-30 seconds. It makes them hot, fluffy, and ready to go. 
  • Beans
  •  If using refried beans, heat in a small saucepan. 
  • Assemble 
  • Warm the tortillas, refried beans, kicking salsa, and eggs. Sprinkle with your favorite cheese, avocado chunks or slices, scatter cilantro, and top with a dollop of sour cream. Season with sea salt flakes and pepper and serve immediately.
  •                .Tips:
  • Fresh tomatoes need longer cooking time as the canned ones have already been cooked. 
  •  You can also take a shortcut and use your favorite jarred salsa.
  •  Serve with lime wedges on the side.
