Cost/Serving: $0.88
Yield:[2 servings] / Serving Size = 2 tortillas with toppings
Ingredients:
4 corn tortillas
½ of a 16-ounce can low sodium refried beans (or refried black beans)*
3 eggs
¼ cup grated cheese, cheddar or Jack
4 Tablespoons salsa

Directions:
1. Place a tortilla in a frying pan on medium heat to soften. Turn over to heat both sides. Keep tortilla warm in 200°F oven. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
2. Heat beans in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Be sure to cover beans when heating in the microwave to prevent splatter.
3. Cook eggs according to taste. Generally eggs “over easy” are used, but scrambled eggs work just as well.
4. Place two warm tortillas on each plate. Top with the beans and a sprinkle with grated cheese. Place eggs on top of cheese. Top with salsa.

*To reduce the fat in the recipe, choose “no fat” or “low fat” refried beans.
