Ingredients

• 2 tortillas
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup black beans
• 1/2 avocado
• 1/4 cup chipotle crema
• 1 tbsp cilantro

Instructions

1. Step 1: Crack 4 eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk vigorously with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is pale and frothy. Tip: Whisking thoroughly ensures even cooking and prevents rubbery texture.
2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil, and pour in the whisked eggs. Cook for 3-4 minutes, gently stirring with a spatula until the curds form soft, tender clumps and the mixture is just set but still slightly moist. Tip: Remove from heat immediately—overcooking will make the eggs dry.
3. Step 3: Place 2 tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for 30 seconds per side, until pliable and slightly charred at the edges. Tip: A dry skillet prevents the tortillas from becoming soggy.
4. Step 4: Spoon 1/2 cup black beans evenly onto each tortilla, then top with the scrambled eggs, followed by 1/2 avocado sliced into 1/4-inch rounds and 1/4 cup chipotle crema drizzled in a zigzag pattern across the surface. Tip: Use a spoon to spread the crema evenly before adding the avocado to avoid slipping.
5. Step 5: Tear 1 tbsp cilantro into small pieces and sprinkle over the top, ensuring even coverage. Serve immediately while the tortillas are warm and the crema is still slightly runny. Tip: For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
