Ingredients

1 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
¼ cup black beans, rinsed
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp red pepper flake
2 eggs
1 cup green cabbage, thinly sliced
Juice from ½ lime
2 Tbsp queso fresco, crumbled
1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
2 corn tortillas
Kosher salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425° F with a small cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan inside.

2. In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, black beans, garlic, and red pepper flake. Pour sauce into the preheated skillet and make two small indentations for eggs; gently crack eggs into their holes.

3. Bake in the oven until eggs are just set, about 7 to 9 minutes. In the meantime, make a simple slaw by gently combining the cabbage with lime juice and a few pinches of salt. Reheat tortillas on the stovetop or in the microwave with a damp paper towel.

4. Top eggs with queso fresco and cilantro; serve with tortillas and slaw.

PREP-AHEAD: The tomato sauce can be made up to three days in advance and stored in the fridge.

NOTES: Omit cheese to make DF. Add more red pepper flakes to increase spice.
