Ingredients
12 small corn tortillas
1 (15 ounce) jar salsa verde
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
6 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 ℉. Spread 1/4 cup of salsa verde evenly over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Place 6 tortillas in a single layer to cover the bottom of the dish, overlapping them as needed. Pour half of the remaining salsa verde over the tortillas, then sprinkle half of the black beans and 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Add the remaining 6 tortillas in a layer over the first, then pour the rest of the salsa verde over them. Top with the remaining black beans and shredded cheese.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and gently create 6 wells in the cheese layer using the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well, then season with salt and pepper.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Remove from the oven and garnish with pico de gallo, sliced avocado, and crumbled cotija or feta cheese. Serve immediately.
