Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 0.5 cups Pepper jack cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 1 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)
• 4 pieces Corn tortillas
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 Scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 whole Lime wedges (for serving)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, cayenne pepper, and cumin. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 4

Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave until warm and spreadable. If desired, stir in hot sauce for extra heat.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, lightly fry the corn tortillas on both sides until they are slightly crispy but still pliable. Drain excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 6

In the same skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 7

To assemble, place a fried tortilla on a plate and spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans on top. Drizzle with a generous ladle of the cheese sauce.

Step 8

Top with a fried egg, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sliced scallions. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze of flavor.
