Cooking Instructions

- Heat oil in a frying pan. Place the tortillas one-by-one in the oil for 8 seconds, flip and repeat. Add extra oil as needed. Drain the tortillas on a paper towel, then place two side-by-side per serving plate. Top with a layer of the refried beans.
- Fry the eggs to taste and place one fried egg on top of each tortilla.
