Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Warm refried black beans over low heat in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally so they do not stick or dry out.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly fry the corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds per side until just golden, then set aside on a paper towel.

  3. 3

    Add remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Crack eggs and fry them over medium heat until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Spread warmed black beans in the center of two plates to create a divider. Place two fried eggs on each plate, separated by the beans.

  5. 5

    Pour red salsa over one egg and green salsa over the other. Garnish each plate with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of cotija cheese. Serve immediately.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Best Easy Huevos Divorciados Recipe?

Lightly fry the corn tortillas in olive oil until just golden. This adds structure and prevents them from absorbing too much moisture from the beans and salsas, helping the dish maintain its pleasing texture.
