As with any other canned bean, find black beans with no spices. You can always add your own spices and herbs to suit your tastes.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 scallions, sliced
1 poblano chile, seeds removed, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 large eggs
8 6" flour tortillas, warmed
Queso fresco or Cojita cheese, crumbled (for serving)
2 jalapeños, thinly sliced, seeds removed if desired (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook scallions and poblano chile, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until soften and skins begin to break, about 2 minutes. Stir in lime juice; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of skillet with a heatproof spatula to form large curds, until softly set, about 3 minutes.

    Step 3

    Fill tortillas with bean mixture and eggs and top with Ancho Chile Salsa, cheese, and jalapeños.
