Prepare a saucepan and add a can of refried beans.

Mix in about half a can of hatch green chilies and a generous amount of Duke's mayonnaise until smooth.

Heat the mixture over very low heat to warm it up without burning.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the bean mixture for extra flavor.

Preheat a cast iron skillet until hot to prevent bacon from sticking.

Cut 2 pieces of bacon into 4 equal pieces and fry them in the skillet until crispy.

Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt without browning.

Crack 1 egg on a flat surface and drop it into the skillet, cooking until the edges begin to set.

Use a spatula to gently flip the egg and cook for about 2 more minutes until done.

Clean the skillet and add pork chorizo, cooking it until fully cooked through and crumbly.

Assemble the sandwich by spreading the bean mixture on a toasted bagel, layering with bacon, the cooked egg, and crumbled queso fresco.
