tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole grain tortillas

💰Cheaper: store-brand tortillas

Whole grain tortillas provide more fiber, while store-brand options can be more budget-friendly.

black beans

🥗Healthier: kidney beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Kidney beans are nutritious, while pinto beans are often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories, while processed cheese can be more affordable.

If salsa is stored in the refrigerator, let it reach room temperature.

Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan over medium heat.

If using whole pinto beans, add them to the heating pan with a tablespoon or two of bean broth and mash until creamy.

If using canned refried beans, heat them up in the microwave or on the stove.

Start heating corn tortillas in a pan with a teaspoon of oil for a couple of minutes until warm.

Fry the eggs to your liking (sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled).

When eggs are half done, crumble on the cheese to begin melting.

On a plate, add warm tortillas and spread on hot refried beans.

Sprinkle on some cheese and slide on the cooked eggs with melted cheese.

Top with your favorite salsa and slices of avocado.
