Ingredients

  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 8 Old El Paso Mini Tortillas
  • 20g butter
  • 8 Coles Australian Free Range Eggs
  • 1 cup refried beans, warmed
  • 60g fetta, crumbled
  • Coriander sprigs, to serve
  • Perino tomato salsa
  • 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 200g red Perino tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño chilli, seeded, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 lime, juiced

Method

STEP 1 

Heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook tortillas, in batches, for 30 secs each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.

STEP 2

Add the butter and remaining oil to the pan. Crack 2 eggs into the pan and cook for 1-2 mins or until the whites are golden around the edges and the yolk is cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat, in batches, with the remaining eggs.

STEP 3 

To make the tomato salsa, heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Cook the tomato, spring onion and chilli, if using, tossing, for 2 mins or until just heated through. Remove from heat. Add the lime juice and season. Set aside to cool. Transfer to a small bowl.

STEP 4

Divide the tortillas among serving plates and spread with refried beans. Top each tortilla with an egg. Spoon over the Perino tomato salsa. Sprinkle with fetta and coriander to serve.
