Preparation

Step 1

Heat about 3 inches of peanut oil, in a heavy bottomed pot to 375. Preheat the broiler. Fry the tortillas for 30 - 40 seconds until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Dip the tortillas into the Salsa Roja while still hot, using tongs, and then transfer to serving plate. Top each tortilla with a good spoonful of refried beans and then arrange a sunny side up fried egg on top of the beans. Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, Salsa Rojo, cilantro, fried chorizo and lime wedges.
