Instructions
Heat the skillet over medium heat.
Add a little oil and cook each egg as desired.
(Over medium is my favorite so the white is cooked through but the yolk is still runny).
4 large eggs,
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
Remove eggs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Prepare the beans by draining and rinsing them, and then heating them in the microwave for 1 minute. (Heat longer if needed so that they are warm).
15 ounces black beans
Combine the beans with the lime juice, cumin, and salt in the bowl. Set aside.
½ lime,
¼ teaspoon salt,
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Heat the enchilada sauce in the large skillet over medium heat.
2 cups red enchilada sauce
When warm, turn off the heat and add the tortilla chips. Toss to coat.
12 ounces tortilla chips
Put the chips in serving bowls or plates.
Distribute the beans among each bowl on top of the chips.
Add the shredded beef to each bowl, approximately 1/2 cup per serving.
2 cups shredded beef
Place the eggs on each bowl of chips.
Add the cotija cheese (approximately 1 Tablespoon per bowl) and additional toppings or garnishes as desired.
4 Tablespoons cotija cheese
Serve immediately.
