Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by shredding Cotija cheese, chopping cilantro, and preparing pickled onions if not done already.
  2. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Toss in the corn and sauté for 3-5 minutes until slightly charred.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add oil if needed. Sprinkle cheese in a small circle and crack the eggs inside. Cook until cheese is crispy.
  4. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Layer each tortilla with refried beans, sautéed corn, crispy fried egg, Cotija cheese, cilantro, and pickled onions.
  5. Drizzle with Aji Verde or Mayo/Tajin mix and serve immediately while warm.
