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.

Start by heating a saucepan and adding chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, chopped jalapenos, and chopped cilantro with a little bit of oil.

Fry the vegetables until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Once the vegetables are translucent, add about 3/4 of a pot full of water to the saucepan.

Add tomato sauce to the water, along with a tablespoon of Knorr seasoning, a teaspoon of onion powder, a teaspoon of garlic powder, and some black pepper.

Mix everything together and bring it to a boil, then let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes.

While the sauce is simmering, heat a pan to medium-high heat to fry the corn tortillas.

Fry each corn tortilla for a couple of seconds on each side until warmed, not toasted, and set them aside.

After frying the tortillas, check the tomato sauce; it should be nice and thick now.

Prepare the eggs to your preference; the creator suggests over medium eggs.

Set up the plate by placing the corn tortillas down, then add the over medium eggs on top, followed by pouring the tomato sauce over the eggs and tortillas.

Top with cheese and serve with refried beans, fried potatoes, or rice if desired.
