Serve this filling dish for breakfast, and you won't have to be concerned about what to make for lunch.

Yield : 4 servings
Prep Time : 25 mins
Cooking Time : 35 mins

Ingredients

For the Refried Beans:

  • Two 15 oz (420g) cans pinto beans
  • 3 tbsp lard or vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 vegetable stock cube, crumbled, or salt to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 4 small dried hot red pequin chiles
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 1/2 lb (750 g) ripe tomatoes, peeled
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp sugar

  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 6 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced 

Directions

1. To make the beans, drain the beans, reserving some of the liquid from the can. Rinse the beans. Heat the lard in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook about 7 minutes, until the onion is golden. Increase the heat to medium high. In batches, add the beans and stir and mash them with a wooden spoon, adding some of the bean liquid, as needed, to make a coarse puree. Add the stock cube and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring often, until thick

2. To make the sauce, combine the chiles and boiling water in a small bowl and soak for 15 minutes. Drain, discarding the liquid. Purèe the tomatoes, chiles, onion, and garlic in a blender. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the tomato mixture and cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, and sugar and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

3. To assemble, heat 4 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over high heat until shimmering. Fry each tortilla for approximately 30 seconds on each side, until hot but not crisp. Transfer to paper towels. Add the remaining 2 tbsp oil to the pan. Add the eggs and fry according to your taste.

4. To serve, place each tortilla on a dinner plate and top with an egg. Spoon some of the tomato sauce over each, and garnish with the avocado slices and cilantro. Add a spoonful of the beans to each tortilla, and serve hot.
