Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup black beans, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for 4-5 minutes until beans are heated through and fragrant.
2. Step 2: In a separate small skillet, warm 4 small corn tortillas over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted.
3. Step 3: In the large skillet with beans, push beans to one side and crack 4 large eggs into the empty space. Fry the eggs over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until whites are set and yolks still runny.
4. Step 4: To serve, place one warm tortilla on each plate, spoon the spiced black beans over the tortillas, then top each with a fried egg.
5. Step 5: Spoon 1/2 cup fresh tomato salsa evenly over the eggs, garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and serve with 2 lime wedges for squeezing.
