Ingredients

Method

  1. Warm both salsas in separate small pans over low heat — the whole dish is a tale of two temperatures, and cold salsa ruins the plot.
  2. Fry the tortillas briefly in 2 tablespoons of oil until leathery-crisp, 30 seconds per side, and drain. Overlap two on each plate.
  3. Fry the eggs in the remaining oil until the whites are set and the yolks still tremble, about 3 minutes, seasoning as they cook.
  4. Set two eggs on each plate's tortillas. Spoon salsa roja over one egg and salsa verde over the other, keeping a strip of refried beans between them as the peacekeeper.
  5. Finish with queso fresco and cilantro and serve while the yolks still run.
