Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Fry the corn tortillas until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Remove tortillas and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and jalapeño; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in chopped tomato, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook until tomatoes break down, about 5-7 minutes.

In a separate pan, fry eggs sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.

To assemble, place a tortilla on each plate, top with black beans, a fried egg, and the tomato mixture.

Garnish with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Serve immediately with extra lime and cheese on the side.
