Ingredients

• 4 pieces eggs
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 cup salsa roja
• 1 cup salsa verde
• 4 pieces corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 quarter cup crumbled queso fresco
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the refried beans to the skillet and cook until warm and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and heat over medium heat.

Step 4

Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds per side until warm and pliable. Set the tortillas aside on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Step 5

Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side-up, seasoning with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

On each plate, place two tortillas side by side. Spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tortilla.

Step 7

Top each tortilla with one sunny-side-up egg.

Step 8

On one side of the egg, spoon salsa roja generously, and on the other side spoon salsa verde, ensuring a vibrant tricolor effect reminiscent of the Mexican flag.

Step 9

Garnish each plate with chopped cilantro and crumbled queso fresco.

Step 10

Serve immediately with a lime wedge for squeezing over the top to add a hint of freshness.
