Ingredients

  • 6 large farm
  • fresh eggs
  • 12 fresh corn tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked black beans, seasoned to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced tomato
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 avocado, mashed and seasoned to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, coriander, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
  3. Dip each corn tortilla into the egg mixture to fully coat, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all tortillas are coated.
  4. Bake the coated tortillas in the preheated oven for 8 10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  5. In a large non stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 4 minutes.
  6. Stir in tomatoes, jalapeño (if using), black beans, salt, pepper, and spices. Cook for an additional 5 7 minutes or until heated through.
  7. In another non stick skillet, fry eggs to desired doneness.
  8. To assemble the dish, layer two crispy tortilla chips on each plate, followed by a spoonful of the black bean mixture, a fried egg, and a dollop of mashed avocado.
  9. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled queso fresco, a drizzle of sour cream, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
  10. Serve immediately, garnishing with additional lime wedges if desired.
