Combine 2 cups masa harina and 1.5 cups water in a bowl.

Mix with a spoon, then use hands to form a soft ball of dough.

If the dough is too sticky, add more flour; if too dry, add more water.

Cover the dough with a towel to prevent drying out.

Prepare pico de gallo by dicing aroma tomatoes, cilantro, white onion, jalapeño, and serrano pepper.

Add minced garlic, lime juice, and kosher salt to the pico de gallo mixture and mix well.

In a pan, heat a little oil and add 1 can of drained black beans, seasoning with cumin, garlic powder, and salt.

Warm the black beans and add a squeeze of lime juice before removing from heat.

Flatten pieces of dough into round shapes for tortillas.

Use a tortilla press lined with a Ziploc bag to press the dough into tortillas.

Cook the tortillas in a pan with a little oil until browned on each side.

In a separate pan, heat oil and crack eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until desired doneness.

Assemble the dish by layering tortillas, black beans, eggs, pico de gallo, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese.

Drizzle chili crunch oil over the assembled dish.
