The Method

5 steps
  1. 1

    Make the salsa first. Combine tomatoes, red onion, coriander, lime, chilli, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Set aside — it improves while it sits.

  2. 2

    For the beans: heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan, soften the brown onion 4 minutes, add garlic and cumin, cook 30 seconds. Tip in the beans plus 100ml water. Mash roughly with the back of a spoon. Simmer 4-5 minutes until thick. Season.

  3. 3

    Warm the tortillas in a dry pan, 20 seconds a side, and stack under a tea towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the rest of the oil in a frypan. Crack in the eggs and fry sunny-side-up until the whites are set, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Plate up: two tortillas overlapping, beans spread over, salsa across the top, eggs on top of that, avocado slices and feta around the edge. Extra coriander to finish.
