Method

Prep the vegetables

Core the Tomatoes, roughly chop the White Onion, stem the Serrano Chile, and mince the Garlic. Chop the Cilantro, keeping 2 tbsp for the salsa and 1 tbsp for garnish.

Simmer the salsa

Heat 1 tbsp of Vegetable Oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, serrano, and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the tomatoes and Salt, then simmer, stirring now and then and gently breaking up the tomatoes with your spoon, for 10 minutes until the salsa looks thick and spoonable. Stir in the cilantro at the end.

Warm the beans

Warm the Refried Beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until hot and spreadable, about 3 minutes.

Fry the tortillas

Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the Corn Tortillas in batches, about 1 minute per side, until lightly crisp and spotted with gold. Transfer them to plates and keep them warm.

Fry the eggs

Keep the same skillet on medium heat, adding a little more oil if needed, and crack in the Eggs. Fry until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.

Assemble and serve

Slice the Avocado. Put 2 tortillas on each of 2 plates, spread on the warm beans, top with 2 eggs per plate, spoon the salsa over the center, and finish with Queso Fresco, the avocado, and the remaining cilantro. Serve right away while the tortillas are crisp and the eggs are hot.
