Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 4 pieces Large eggs
  • 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Aji Amarillo paste
  • 1 cup Canned black beans, drained
  • 2 pieces Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 0.5 cup Queso Fresco, crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Red wine vinegar
  • 1 pinch Salt and black pepper(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat one tablespoon of oil in a skillet and lightly fry the corn tortillas until soft but slightly golden; set aside on a warm plate.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and sauté the red onions over medium-high heat until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Stir in the minced garlic and Aji Amarillo paste, cooking for 2 minutes until the paste is fragrant and the onions are well coated.

  4. 4

    Add the diced tomatoes and a splash of red wine vinegar to the onion mixture, simmering for 5 minutes to create a chunky Peruvian sauce.

  5. 5

    In a separate small pot, warm the black beans with a pinch of salt and mash them slightly for a creamier texture.

  6. 6

    In a non-stick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or over-easy according to your preference.

  7. 7

    Assemble by spreading a layer of beans on each tortilla, followed by a fried egg, and then a generous spoonful of the Aji Amarillo onion sauce.

  8. 8

    Garnish with crumbled queso fresco and fresh cilantro before serving immediately.
