- 1 jalapeno
- 4.5 oz chopped green chiles canned
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 dash liquid smoke
Toppings
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 eggs
- 1 can pinto beans
- 1 avocado

Instructions
Sauce
- Start by making the sauce. In a large skillet or fry pan add 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup of diced onion, 2 tsp garlic cloves and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the 28 oz. crushed tomatoes, 1 diced jalapeño (no seeds), and 4.5 oz. canned chopped green chiles. Stir to combine.
- Add the spices: 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp brown sugar and a dash of liquid smoke. Stir all together, lower the heat to low, and place a lid on the pan to simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
Toppings
- In a separate frying pan, spray with non-stick spray and fry 8 eggs. I cook 2 to 3 at a time depending on how large the pan is. You can fry to your perferred yolk texture, I like over-easy.
- In a third frying pan add 2 tbsp olive oil over high heat and allow it to heat up. Fry all 8 tortillas on both sides until brown and slightly crispy. I place the tortillas in a warmer to keep warm while I prepare the rest.
- Wash and chop up all the other toppings. Make sure to rinse of the canned pinto beans!
Assemble
- Place a crispy tortilla on a plate, top with a few large spoonfuls of sauce, beans, a fried egg and the other toppings. Place another crispy tortilla on top and repeat. Assemble all 4 servings and enjoy!
