2 jalapeños, stems removed, roughly chopped
½ white onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp vegetable oil
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste

For the beans

1 can (16 oz) refried beans
¼ tsp ground cumin

For assembly

8 corn tortillas
3 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
8 large eggs
salt and pepper to taste

For serving

½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
1 avocado, sliced
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

1
Combine the canned tomatoes (with their juices), jalapeños, onion, and garlic in a blender or food processor and pulse until the mixture is roughly pureed but still has some texture — not completely smooth.
2
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pour in the tomato mixture — it will spatter, so stand back — and stir in the cumin, oregano, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce darkens slightly and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10–12 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
