Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 small corn tortillas
• 1 large (sliced) avocado
• 1 small (quartered) lime
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons (crumbled) cotija cheese

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 2

Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and slightly softened. Season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.

Step 3

In a separate large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and cook the eggs to your preferred doneness (sunny-side-up is recommended). Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on the eggs while they cook.

Step 5

To assemble, place two crispy tortillas on each plate. Top each tortilla with a generous scoop of the spiced black beans.

Step 6

Add one sunny-side-up egg on top of each tortilla-bean layer. Arrange avocado slices around the eggs and squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped cilantro and a crumbling of cotija cheese for a fresh and tangy finish.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Southwest-inspired Taos Eggs!
