Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

02

Step

Slice each tortilla into 8 wedges, creating perfect chip shapes. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Brush the tortilla wedges with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and sprinkle evenly with sea salt. (1 minute)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the tortilla chips are crisp and golden brown, approximately 8-10 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

05

Step

While the chips are baking, pour the salsa verde into a skillet and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the baked tortilla chips, ensuring they are well coated with the salsa verde. Allow the chips to absorb the sauce for 3-5 minutes, softening slightly while retaining their crispness. (5 minutes)

07

Step

In a separate large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat.

08

Step

Carefully crack the eggs into the hot skillet. Cook until the outer edges of the whites begin to set, about 1 minute.

09

Step

Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and continue cooking until the egg whites are completely set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness, approximately 3-4 minutes for runny yolks. Season with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)

10

Step

Divide the saucy tortilla chips amongst 4 serving bowls. Top each portion with a fried egg, a generous scoop of warmed black beans, diced avocado, diced tomatoes, and diced red onion. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the salsa verde.
If you don't have leftover tortillas, you can lightly fry fresh tortillas in oil until crisp instead of baking them.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Queso fresco, sour cream, or a drizzle of crema are all delicious additions.
To make this dish ahead of time, bake the tortilla chips and prepare the salsa verde in advance. Assemble just before serving.
