  • 8 large eggs

SPRINKLE eggs lightly with salt and pepper. (Repeat method with remaining butter and 4 eggs, or prepare all 8 at once in two large nonstick skillets or on one large flat griddle.)
  • SPREAD warm refried beans evenly over tortillas. SPOON tomatillo salsa over half the tortillas and tomato salsa over remaining tortillas. TOP each tortilla with one fried egg. TRANSFER one of each salsa-topped tortilla to four plates and GARNISH with red onion and cilantro. SERVE immediately.
