For the Black Beans
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, add olive oil on medium heat. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to infuse the oil for about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Add yellow onions quarters and jalapeño, stir for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add garlic cloves and cumin stir for another minute.
Step 3
Add cooked black beans and sauté with other ingredients for about 1 to 2 minutes. Then add the stock, salt, and cilantro sprigs. Stir to combine.

For the Tortillas, Huevos and Assembly
Step 1
In a large frying pan melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat add 2 tortillas. Lightly fry both sides until slightly golden and caramelized. I use two tortillas per serving, so repeat as desired. Set on serving plates when done. Top tortillas with cooked black beans.
Step 2
In the same frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted and bubbly, crack 2 eggs, taking care not to break the yolks. Once the egg whites have set, gently place eggs on top of the prepared beans. Repeat for each additional serving.
Step 3
To serve: Top prepared plates with the Pico de Gallo and garnish with cotija cheese, avocado slices, fresh jalapeño slices, more cilantro, and salsa/hot sauce of your choice.
