Ingredients
- 2 large tomatoes, cored and finely diced
- ½ small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 plus ¼ cup olive oil, divided
- 1 small lime
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
- 1 15.5-ounce can black beans, well drained
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon ground cilantro seed
- 4 6-inch corn tortillas
- 2 eggs
- 1 avocado, skin and seed removed and roughly diced
- ¼ bunch fresh cilantro, leaves and stems washed and chopped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix the diced tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a little lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and then set the tomato salsa aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, lightly fry the garlic in ¼ cup olive oil over moderate heat without letting it change color. Then add the beans. Using a fork, roughly crush the beans; add ¼ cup water along with a good pinch of salt and the ground cilantro seed. Cook over low heat until the mixture is warmed through and starts to thicken.
- In a large, dry skillet, toast each corn tortilla on both sides (if you have a stove-top griddle pan, that’s even better). Then, in the same skillet, lay down 2 tortillas and spread each evenly with a quarter of the crushed black beans. Top with the remaining tortillas and spoon on the remaining black beans, creating a little well. Crack an egg into the well of each tortilla.
- Place the skillet into the oven for approximately 6–8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Remove the skillet from the oven. Serve with the diced avocado, tomato salsa, and cilantro.
