  1. Prepare the Salsa by finely chopping onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños. Combine in a saucepan over medium heat, simmering for about 5 minutes until thickened, then season.

  3. Cook the Tortillas in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
  4. Fry the Eggs in a nonstick skillet with olive oil, cooking for about 2.5 minutes for sunny-side-up or scrambling them as preferred.
  5. Assemble the Dish on each tortilla: spread refried beans, place the egg, top with salsa, avocado, Cotija, and lime juice.
  6. Serve Immediately while hot. Pair with fresh fruit or salad.
