Ingredients

  • One packet of wheat tortillas if corn is your preference then go for it!
  • 1 can of black beans
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • one small onion sliced into rings
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups high quality or homemade salsa
  • 2 ripe Haas Avocados chopped
  • 2 cups grated pepper jack cheese
  • one lime use the juice to squirt on the avocado so they don't turn brown
  • 1 bunch cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat your grill to medium heat and create direct and indirect cooking zones. Make sure that you control the heat on your grill so the pans don't get too-hot. 
  • Drizzle olive oil in the cast iron pan and crack your eggs and let them cook until over easy. Place a pot with the beans and the added chopped garlic and place them on direct heat.
  • Meanwhile, on the indirect heat side, toast the tortillas until they get char marks on both sides and become toasted.
  • Grill the onions on direct where space is available until char marks form. Once done, chop them for serving.
  • Layer 2 tortillas with eggs and beans on a plate. Top with a generous amount of cheese, grilled onions, salsa, sour cream, chopped avocado and cilantro. Serve with your favorite hot sauce or chopped jalapenos.
