Now, crack eggs into the salsa, creating pockets of deliciousness. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook to your liking.

Assemble your creation by placing a tortilla on each plate, spooning the bean and egg mix on top, and sprinkling with shredded cheese. Add fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor.
