Sunday and brunch go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other.  Instead of preparing an Omelette or French toast for brunch, try a colorful and flavorful dish with a Mexican twist. Southwestern eggs with refried beans are healthy and delicious. The flavors from the salsa, avocados and shredded cheese mix well with the spicy refried beans. This meal will be a hit with friends and family. Just don’t forget the fresh squeezed orange juice!

Ingredients

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 4 cups Randall Hearty ‘N Healthy Refried Beans*
  • 8 fried or poached eggs
  • 2 cups shredded jack cheese
  • 2 medium to large ripe avocados, peeled and sliced
  • Juice of a medium lime
  • Chunky Tomato Salsa (your favorite hotness level)
  • Cilantro sprigs (optional)
Instructions

Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet. (360° to 370° ) Add the corn tortillas, one at a time and cook, turning once until crisp and golden brown. (About 1 minute.) Drain on soft white paper towels and keep warm in a warm oven until ready to use.

To serve:

Heat the refried beans and spread each crisp tortilla with a layer of beans. Top each with a fried or poached egg, cooked to desired doneness.

Sprinkle each egg with some of the cheese. Pop into a hot oven until cheese is melted. Toss the avocado slices in the lime juice to coat. Arrange the avocado on each side of the tortilla and spoon some salsa in the middle.

Garnish with a cilantro sprig. Serve immediately. Pass more salsa, if desired.

4 to 8 servings.

Immediately after slicing avocado, sprinkle the slices with a bit of fresh lemon or lime juice to prevent darkening.
