Start by bringing diced tomatoes and enchilada sauce to a boil in a saucepan.

Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is thick.

Remove the pan from the heat, stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice, and set aside.

While the sauce is simmering, place pinto beans in water in a microwave-safe bowl and mash the beans.

Cover and microwave for 2 minutes or until the beans are hot.

Cook eggs in a large skillet for 1 minute on each side or until they're done to your liking.

Spread a large spoonful of mashed beans over each warmed tortilla.

Top each tortilla with an egg.

Spoon the enchilada sauce around each egg.

Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
