Prepare pico de gallo by dicing 1/4 cup of sweet onion and setting it aside.

Chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro and set it aside.

Clean and dice 1/2 cup of Campari tomatoes, removing seeds and pulp to avoid excess moisture.

Finely chop 1/2 jalapeno (optional) and mix with pico de gallo ingredients.

Add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the pico de gallo, adjusting to taste.

Heat 1/2 cup of refried black beans in a pan over just under medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Warm the flour tortilla in another pan over just under medium heat until lightly browned and flexible.

In a separate pan, heat 1 teaspoon of butter over medium heat for about 3 minutes before adding 1 egg, scrambling it until cooked through.

Assemble the dish by placing the warmed tortilla on a plate, adding the heated refried beans, scrambled egg, and topping with pico de gallo and shredded cheese.
