Baked Spicy Mexican Eggs

FoodFood

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 red onion, peeled & diced (~194g)

1 large jalapeño, sliced (~55g)

2 cloves garlic, peeled & finely sliced

1 tsp cumin

salt & pepper, to taste

1- 14oz can diced tomatoes

1- 15oz can black beans, drained & rinsed

6-7 corn tortillas, halved

6 eggs

2 oz cheddar cheese, finely grated

2 pinches chili flakes, or to taste

Cilantro for optional garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. Add the onion, jalapeño & garlic with a pinch of salt & pepper and sauté until tender and dark golden, about 6 min. Add the cumin and cook until aromatic.

Stir in the tomatoes and gently simmer 5 min. Add the beans, heat through for 2 min, then set mixture aside.

Grease a baking dish with a little oil and sprinkle some salt in the bottom. Line the dish with the tortillas, overlapping them and raising them up the edges.

Pour in the tomato mix, then make 6 little wells in it. Break an egg into a cup, then pour it into a well so that the yolk sits neatly in the middle. Repeat with remaining eggs. Sprinkle the cheese & chili flakes over the top, and season with salt & pepper.

Bake for 11-14 min, or until egg whites are cooked, yolks are set the way you like, and cheese melted and golden. Garnish with cilantro as desired.
