Ingredients
- 1x onion
- 2x garlic
- 1x can of black beans
- 2x red peppers.
- 2x red or orange chillies
- olive oil
- 1x dried chilli
- 2x bay leaves
- 2x 400g plum tomatoes
- 2x ripe tomatoes
- 6 eggs
- 6 tortillas
- cheddar
- corn
- coriander
- avocado
- greek yoghurt or creme fraiche
Instructions
- Peel and finely slice the onions and garlic. Deseed and finely slice the peppers and chillies.
- Get a large frying pan (make sure you’ve got a lid to go with it) on a high heat and add several good lugs of olive oil.
- Add the onion, garlic, peppers, fresh and dried chillies, bay leaves and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and cook for 15 minutes, or until to softened and caramelised, stirring regularly.
- Pour in the tomatoes, using a spoon or potato masher to break them up. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a medium heat and cook for a further 5 minutes to reduce the sauce.
- When you’ve got a nice thick tomato stew consistency, have a taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
- Slice the fresh tomatoes and lay them over the top of the mixture.
- Use a spoon to make small wells in the tomato stew, then crack in the eggs so they poach in the thick, delicious juices – try to crack them in as quickly as you can so they all get to cook for roughly the same amount of time.
- Season from a height, put the lid on and let the eggs cook for around 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
- Warm the tortillas while this is happening. You can pop them into the oven at 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for a few minutes, microwave them for a few seconds or even lay them over the lid of the pan so they heat up as the eggs cook.
- Take the lid off and check your eggs by giving them a poke with your finger. When they’re done to your liking, turn the heat off and take the pan to the table with the warmed tortillas, the Cheddar and a grater so everyone can get involved and make their own. Personally, I like to grate a bit of cheese right on to a warm tortilla, spoon an egg and some of the wonderful tomato stew on top, wrap it up, and eat it right away. What a beautiful way to wake up!
