Ingredients

  • 8-12 tortillas corn or flour
  • salsa to taste
  • 8 eggs to fry
  • 2 tbsp butter to fry eggs
  • 6-8 cloves garlic minced finely
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons sofrito
  • 1 cup stock or beer
  • 2-3 dried guajillo peppers
  • 2-4 dried chiles de arbol omit if you’d like less spicy
  • 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 can pinto beans drained
  • 1 can pink beans drained
  • ½ cup cotija cheese to garnish
  • cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  • In a small pan, heat olive oil until shimmery. 
  • Add shallot and cook to soft, stirring frequently to prevent burning, about 5 minutes. 
  • Stir in garlic, and cook to fragrant - about 40 seconds.
  • Add sofrito, bay leaf, chiles, oregano, and stock or beer, stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, a pinch or two of each. 
  • Add beans and toss to mix well. 
  • Cook to reduce liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent beans from burning, about 10 minutes, until liquid is thickened and mostly reduced. 
  • Add any salt and pepper, to taste, as needed. 
  • Remove bay leaf and chiles before serving. 
  • Heat tortillas in dry skillet to lightly toast. Set aside. 
  • In a small pan, heat butter until light and foamy. 
  • Add eggs, two at a time, and fry until whites are cooked through and sides are lightly browned, but yolks are still lightly runny. 
  • Lay tortilla on plate, then pile beans onto tortilla, and top with fried egg. 
  • Sprinkle cotija cheese and cilantro over top and garnish with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, crema, or any other seasoning. 
  • Enjoy!
