This is a Bobby Flay recipe that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. It is served with black beans, avocado relish, and my recipes ( Bobby Flay's) for red and green chili sauces, Red Chili Sauce and Green Chili Sauce.It makes a wonderful brunch with some melon or fruit salad on the side. I've had something very similar to these eggs when we've stayed in Santa Fe. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 small yellow onions or 1 small white onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed |

salt & freshly ground black pepper |
2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and cut into small cubes |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 tablespoon honey |
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro |
1 cup canola oil |
4 (6 inch) corn tortillas |
