Yield 1 serving
A classic Mexican breakfast made easier with some store-bought ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 corn tortilla
- 1/2 tablespoon light cooking oil (such as safflower or canola oil)
- 1/3 cup canned black beans or pinto beans, reheated (whole or refried)
- 1 large or extra large egg
- 1/4 cup bottled or canned salsa (you can choose red or green)
Instructions
- Heat 1/3 cup of beans and 1/4 cup salsa and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon canola oil over medium heat. Lightly fry the tortilla on both sides and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain off any excess oil; discard the paper towel. Spread the beans over one side of the tortilla.
- In the skillet, there should still be a little bit of oil. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook the egg sunny side up, 1-2 minutes until the white is opaque and the yolk has slightly set.
- With a spatula, transfer the egg on top of the beans. Pour the warm salsa gently over the top of the egg and serve.
