    • 8 corn tortillas
    • Neutral oil
    • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
    • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and sliced
    • 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
    • 1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes
    • 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
    • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
    • 4 eggs
  • For the Toppings:

    • 2 oz cotija cheese, crumbled
    • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
    • 4-5 radishes, thinly sliced
    • 2 limes, cut into wedges

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Tortillas:

    • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
    • Fry tortillas for about 2 minutes per side until crispy.
    • Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil and season with salt.
    • Remove all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet.
  2. Cook Vegetables and Sauce:

    • Add onion, poblano, and jalapeños to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
    • Add tomatoes and spices, breaking up the tomatoes as they cook.
    • Season with salt and add beans.
    • Simmer for 10-15 minutes until some liquid evaporates and tomatoes break down.
  3. Add Eggs:

    • Make four wells in the tomato mixture and crack an egg into each well.
    • Simmer for 8-10 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking. Cover loosely with a lid if needed to speed up cooking.
  4. Serve:

    • Remove from heat and add toppings.
    • Serve with crispy tortillas and lime wedges on the side.
