Fried Egg on Tortilla A’La Latino Style

Not many people know that I used to live in Las Vegas for a while. That where my crazy youth

Not many people know that I used to live in Las Vegas for a while. That where my crazy youth days (still, I was over 21 years old) full of casinos, parties and hangovers. But it was also a time, when I’ve discovered a mexican cuisine. We’ve found an amazing small food stand on the borders of the city, always full with people, and they served the best food in Las Vegas. It was always an amazing beginning of a night. Time passed (I’m still crazy young!), I live in Europe, but I still love mexican food and tortillas. As the weekend came, I suggest you to try out today’s recipe. It is very easy to prepare and the taste is unforgetable. Plus it made me so happy today 😉 

You will need (for 2):

  • ½ small red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 tbsp chili sauce
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • pinch of cayenne
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tortillas
  • ½ cup grated cheese
  • handful of coriander
  • olive oil
  • 2 eggs

Chop the onion and garlic, then sate it on a pan with a little bit of the olive oil. Add chili sauce, cumin, hot pepper, salt and pepper. Stir in the drained beans, then leave on low heat so the beans will get warm.

On the second pan, also on a bit of olive oil, fry tortilla on both sides (put it on a kitchen paper later on  to remove excess oil) and fry eggs.

Place the tortillas on a plate, cover it with the bean mixture, sprinkle with cheese, place the egg on a top and sprinkle with coriander.

Enjoy, Marta

    Wow, your blog is beautifull. I have the bad habit of never eating breakfast, but this is making me hungryyyyyyyy!!!!! It reminds me of the breakfast burrito I used to eat in Los Angeles in another lifetime when I worked on farmers’ markets. Thanks for that!!

      I’m not sure if I understand, you’re a chef and you made it in your restaurant? And you served it despite you didn’t like it?

    I LOVE Mexican food – it’s such a bummer it isn’t so common in Europe and it’s hard to find really good stuff in restaurants. This is my kind of meal – I love all the flavours… so satisfying and clean-tasting I find, and best of all, it’s as cheap as chips to make too! Love it, thanks for sharing!

    • What should I eat for breakfas Reply

      I’m glad you liked it 🙂 and yes, it’s not easy to find a good mexican restaurant, what a shame. But now we can have a little bit of it in our homes, and yes, it’s so easy and cheap to prepare…

    Love your photography, by the by! Even more than I loved Las Vegas when I visited. Which I kinda didn’t, because I was only 20…

      21 is a perfect age for LV, you can do whatever you want then. You should go gain one day 🙂

    WOW Vegas. How lucky! I visited there twice and can go there every weekend, if given a choice 😉
    This dish looks lovely and would make a lovely meal.

    I adore Mexican food and flavors also and these tortillas look so delicious! The perfect meal to wake up to.

    • What should I eat for breakfas Reply

      It tastes even better when served to a bed 😉

  • kitchenriffs Reply

    Mexican flavors are among my favorite. Anything with black beans is OK in my book! These look really excellent – thanks.

      I hope you’ll like it. I love mexican food as well, but it’s not easy to find a good mexican restaurant in Europe…

    This dish looks yummy. I love a good breakfast. And vegas breakfast – couldn’t pass up Hash House a Go Go. If you are feeling nostalgic I just wrote about our trip to Vegas a couple of weeks ago and most of it was about food.Sharon

    I’m lucky to live in California where I get to enjoy really good Mexican food too. However one thing I’ve never done is to eat Mexican food for breakfast! Now you showed me how to prepare, I’d love to give this a try. We eat fried eggs on weekends once in a while anyway. Thank you for sharing your recipe Marta!

    • What should I eat for breakfas Reply

      I hope you’ll like it. Let me know 🙂 and yes, you’re so lucky to live in California. I live in Berlin at the moment and the weather could be better 😉
