You could call this breakfast for dinner, albeit a Mexican style one.
I made a batch of these quick beans with cumin and oregano but used pinto rather than black as in the recipe. At least, I think they were pinto beans… As they were cooking, I took my trusty potato masher and gave the beans a good smash here and there and ended up with pseudo refried beans. Of course, you could always make truly refried beans from any leftovers from the recipe.
A few flour tortillas were heated up in my frying pan and the same pan was then used for frying a few eggs. Onto the plates went a couple of tortillas, a few large spoonfuls of the beans, some grated cheese, the fried eggs, sliced avocado and a sprinkling of chopped coriander. Can’t forget the salsa and sour cream on the side! It took almost no time at all and satisfied any Mexican food cravings I had!

Yum. I have Mexican cravings at least once a week . . . where do you get your salsa? I haven’t found ones other than Doritos or El Paso brand here.

eggs and mexican food together is a match made in culinary heaven. Mexican brunch in Brooklyn is probably my favorite weekend activity.

kat: Thank you! I think we’ll need to have it again too!
American in London: Yeah, I’m ashamed to say that I make do with those (strangely, the Morrison’s brand salsa is better than Doritos…which is all strangely sweet). I used to make my own but time is scarce.
Fastest Indian: Ahhaha, I heard that one ages ago but then forgot it again! I like it – brinner!
pigpigscorner: Thank you so much!
brinegaj: Oh, I bet it’s fabulous in Brooklyn – there are a couple places in London that do a Mexican breakfast/brunch but I’ve not tried them yet.
