This dish can be served with a variety of salsas, meats (chorizo in particular), and beans.
Preheat the oven to 200°F.
Prepare and keep warm:
- Refried Beans or Frijoles de la Olla
- 2 cups any salsa, store-bought or homemade, or New Mexico–Style Chile Sauce
Heat in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Add one at a time:
- 4 to 8 corn tortillas
Fry for 2 to 3 seconds per side, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer to paper towels, wrap in foil, and keep warm in the oven. Set the skillet over medium-low heat and add a bit more oil if needed. Prepare, in batches if necessary:
- 4 to 8 Fried Eggs, cooked as desired
As the eggs cook, divide the tortillas among 4 warmed plates and top with a generous spoonful of beans. As they finish cooking, top each serving with 1 or 2 eggs, and ½ cup of the warm salsa or chile sauce. Serve immediately topped with:
- Chopped cilantro
- (Finely crumbled queso fresco or Cotija cheese)
