Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 corn tortillas, halved
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1½ cups salsa ranchera (homemade or store-bought)
4 large eggs
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: sliced avocado, jalapeños, hot sauce
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add tortilla halves and cook until lightly golden and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add black beans and cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until warmed through, then lightly mash some beans with a spoon.
Return the tortillas to the skillet, layering them over the beans. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the tortillas.
Pour salsa ranchera over the top and use a spoon to make small wells. Crack eggs into the wells.
Cover and cook on medium-low until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 6–8 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with cilantro and optional toppings. Serve immediately.
