A playful Mexican breakfast where two fried eggs are served side-by-side, each topped with a different sauce—one with tangy green salsa verde and the other with rich red salsa roja. Crispy tortilla chips, refried beans, and fresh cilantro round out this vibrant, shareable dish.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup salsa verde
- 1 cup salsa roja
- 2 cup refried beans
- 2 cup tortilla chips
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoon white onion, diced
- 2 lime, wedged
Steps
- Dice the white onion into small pieces and set aside. Chop the fresh cilantro roughly and set aside. Have the salsa verde and salsa roja ready in separate bowls.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a small skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, carefully add 1 can of refried beans and stir occasionally until heated through and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside on a warm plate.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the salsa verde and salsa roja separately for 2-3 minutes until just heated through. Keep on low heat until ready to plate.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium heat until the oil shimmers, about 1 minute.
- Carefully crack 2 eggs into the skillet, spacing them apart. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs for 4-5 minutes until the whites are set and opaque but the yolks remain runny. Use a spatula to gently slide them onto a plate side-by-side, leaving space between them.
- Repeat the process: add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, crack the remaining 2 eggs, season, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Slide onto another plate.
- Pour the warm salsa verde over one egg and the warm salsa roja over the other egg on each plate.
- Arrange a scoop of warm refried beans next to the eggs and a handful of crispy tortilla chips on each plate. Sprinkle diced white onion and fresh cilantro over the eggs.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
