Instructions
Make the Condiments Ahead
- Make the Avocado Crema and Pico De Gallo ahead (see link in post copy, optional)
Make the Black Beans
- Start the "Cheater" black beans in a sauce pan and simmer uncovered (see link in post copy). Continue to stir occasionally throughout other cooking processes.
- When close to plating, mash the black beans in the pan with a potato masher, fork, or wooden spoon.
Make the Chorizo Mixture
- While the beans are on, in a skillet brown the chorizo, 4 -6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside in a bowl. Leave the pan with rendered fat.
- In a separate pan, add half the oil and saute the onions, bell pepper, and jalapeno for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and continue saute for another 1- 2 minutes. Stir in the cumin, cayenne, and chili powder. Continue cooking and stirring another 1 - 2 minutes. Add in the fire roasted diced tomatoes and browned chorizo. Simmer on low uncovered. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Lightly Fry the Tortillas
- In the chorizo pan add the remaining oil to the rendered fat. When hot, cook the tortillas for 1 minute on each side, flipping with tongs. Set on a plate with paper towels and place in the oven on low heat (170 degrees on warm or whatever your oven will go down to on lowest setting).
Fry the Eggs
- In a separate pan, heat the butter on medium heat until melted. Crack the 4 eggs and divide. Cook to over easy (or desired preference), a couple minutes on each side.
Plate the Dish!
- Assemble plates in the following order: thin layer of tomato/chorizo sauce, fried tortilla, thin layer of mashed "cheater" black beans, another thin layer of tomato/chorizo sauce, over easy egg (should still be slightly runny, but preference based), drizzle of avocado crema, top with pico de gallo and grated queso fresco. Serve immediately.
Notes
Note: this dish does require some multitasking but when it comes together it's worth it!
