Cooking steps

1

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pinto beans, salt, cumin, and black pepper. Stir and gently mash until creamy and heated through, about 5 minutes.
2

Transfer the mashed beans to plates, spreading them in an even layer as a base.
3

Wipe the skillet clean, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once shimmering but not smoking, crack eggs in gently for sunny-side-up preparation.
4

Lower heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook eggs 2-3 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
5

Warm corn tortillas in a dry pan over low heat, flipping until flexible and hot, about 1 minute per side. Serve tortillas alongside the beans and eggs immediately.
