Ingredients: |
mise en place*** |
1 tomato, chopped |
1/4 of a medium red onion, sliced (or green onion) |
1 chipotle pepper (or jalapeño, seeded), minced |
1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese |
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced |
1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped (reserve 2 tbsp for
garnish) |
|
1-2 eggs per person (always better to choose organic eggs
or omega-3s) |
2 large tortillas (we prefer whole wheat or sprouted
wheat) |
1/2 a can of refried beans (pinto or black - make your
own if you're a super keener) |
salt, pepper, cumin and paprika (don't use crappy
paprika, you should be willing to spend at least $5-8 on a jar to
get an acceptable brand) - to taste |
|
Garnish: |
1/2 an avocado, peeled and sliced |
2 slices of lime |
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt (we use yogurt in order
to maintain our girlish figures) |
1/2 cup of salsa, fresh is better, but use what you have |
|
Method: |
1. Preheat oven and broiler (you'll want the
broiler at 450-500F, but you'll also want the oven hot prior to
turning the broiler on - this ensures a short cooking time and
that your dish gets heated through.) |
2. Assemble and prepare your mise en place |
3. Place tortillas on a baking sheet, and spread 1/4 cup of
beans on each. |
4. On medium heat fry your eggs, as desired, we like sunny
side up. Cook your eggs slightly underdone, because they'll cook
again under the broiler. Season the eggs with salt, pepper,
cumin and paprika to taste. |
5. Place eggs on the tortilla with beans. |
6.Distribute mise en place ingredients over the two
tortillas, finishing with the cheese. |
7. Place under the broiler in the oven. Monitor your oven,
if you preheated it properly, it will only take 4-5 minutes
to heat the tortillas and melt the cheese. If you don't pay
close attention you'll burn it - we're speaking from experience
here! |
8. Remove from oven, plate and garnish with cilantro,
avocado, lime, salsa and sour cream. |
