Instructions
1. Prepare the Beans
o Heat the refried beans in a small pot. If using pork lard, melt it first before adding the beans to enhance the flavor. Add water to achieve a runny consistency if necessary.
2. Make the Tortillas Tatemadas
o Place the corn tortillas on a hot skillet or comal over medium-high heat. Cook until charred spots appear, flipping occasionally for an even char. Set aside.
3. Cook the Eggs
o Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil if desired. Crack the eggs gently into the pan, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
4. Assemble the Dish
o Place the charred tortillas on a plate. Add a generous spoonful of the runny beans on top.
o Gently place the cooked eggs over the beans.
o Pour Salsa Roja on one egg and Salsa Verde on the other, leaving the yolks visible.
5. Serve and Enjoy
o Serve immediately with extra tortillas on the side if desired. Breaking the yolks and mixing them with the salsas creates a heavenly bite!
