Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 3 1/2 oz sturdy tortilla chips
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup chunky jarred salsa
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack, shredded
  • 1 (15 oz) can canned black beans, rinsed
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup total red onion and cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp each cumin and chili powder

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Warm the salsa with the beans, cumin, and chili powder in a 12-inch skillet over medium until it bubbles at the edges, about 4 minutes.
  2. Fold in the tortilla chips just until each one is coated; work fast so they soften without collapsing to mush.
  3. Scatter the cheese over the top, cover, and cook 2 minutes until it melts into sheets.
  4. Make eight shallow wells with the back of a spoon and crack an egg into each.
  5. Cover and cook 5 to 6 minutes over medium-low, until the whites are opaque all the way to the yolk and the yolks still tremble.
  6. Top with sour cream, avocado, red onion, and cilantro and serve straight from the skillet.
