How to cook it

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion, garlic, and jalapeno until softened, about 4 minutes.

  2. Add the diced tomatoes and cumin, simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes, and season with salt; this is the ranchero sauce.

  3. Warm the refried beans in a small pot.

  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, then keep them warm wrapped in a towel.

  5. Fry the eggs in the remaining oil until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

  6. Spread a little beans on each tortilla, top with a fried egg, and spoon the ranchero sauce over the top. Scatter with cotija and cilantro and serve.
