  • 8corn tortillas
  • 14 ozchopped tomatoes, one tin
  • 1white onion, finely diced
  • 3 clovegarlic, minced
  • 2jalapeños, finely chopped
  • 1 tspground cumin
  • 3 tbspvegetable oil
  • 14 ozvegetarian refried beans, check the tin — traditional refried beans are made with lard
  • 3 1/2 ozqueso fresco, crumbled
  • 1/2 ozcoriander, leaves picked

Method

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil and cook the onion for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, jalapeños and cumin and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Add the tinned tomatoes and salt and simmer for 12 minutes, until thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon. Keep it warm.

  3. 3

    Heat the refried beans in a small pan with a splash of water until spreadable. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 20 seconds a side.

  4. 4

    Heat the remaining oil and fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks still soft.

  5. 5

    Put two tortillas on each plate, spread with refried beans, sit the eggs on top and spoon the warm salsa around the yolks rather than over them.

  6. 6

    Scatter with queso fresco and coriander and serve immediately.
