Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon pure chile powder
  • One 10-ounce can enchilada sauce
  • One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oregano, preferably Mexican
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • Vegetable oil spray
  • 1 cup canned low-fat refried beans
  • 1 cup loosely packed grated Monterey Jack cheese (2 ounces)
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup prepared salsa
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Method

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet.
  • Add the onion, garlic and jalapeno and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the cilantro and chile powder and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the enchilada sauce, tomato sauce and oregano.
  • Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Cover and keep warm.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over moderately high heat.
  • Lightly coat the tortillas on both sides with cooking spray.
  • Toast 1 tortilla at a time in the skillet, about 15 seconds per side.
  • Dip 1 side of the tortilla into the tomato sauce and set it, coated side up, on a baking sheet.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the refried beans with 2 tablespoons of water and warm over moderately low heat.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the beans on each tortilla and top with the cheese.
  • Broil for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted; keep warm.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs, egg whites, salsa and 2 tablespoons of water; season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the butter in the medium skillet until foaming.
  • Add the eggs and cook over moderately high heat, pushing the eggs into the center of the pan, until set but still soft, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the tortillas to 4 plates.
  • Top with the scrambled eggs and a little sauce and serve immediately with a bowl of the remaining sauce alongside.
