- 8 soft corn tortillas
- 2 cups enchilada sauce (store bought or homemade)
- 1 15 oz can refried beans
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup queso fresco
- 1 teaspoon olive oil

Enchilada sauce:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a 12 inch oven proof skillet, drizzle 1 t olive oil. Spread 1-2 T of refried beans on each tortilla. Layer four tortillas in pan in t-shape. Spread 3-4 T of enchilada sauce, ¾ cup of mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup of queso fresco over tortillas. Layer remaining 4 tortillas in t-shape so that entire bottom of pan is covered. Sprinkle 3-4 T of enchilada sauce, ¾ cup of mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup of queso fresco over second layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbling.
- Heat frying pan over medium heat on stove. Cook 4-6 eggs, sunny side up, about 4-6 minutes. Remove tortillas from oven, place eggs on top. Sprinkle with ½ cup queso fresco, 2 diced avocados and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with any remaining enchilada sauce, to taste.
For the enchilada sauce:
- Heat olive oil in pan.
- Add spices and tomato paste, mixing well.
- Slowly add broth, whisking as you add it.
- Heat thoroughly. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
