Divorced Eggs

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe

(Huevos Divorciados)
Category: Egg Dishes
This cleverly named dish is satisfying and filling, with plenty of contrasting flavors and colors. The name refers to the way the eggs and sauces are separated from each other on the plate and kept from mingling by the black beans in the middle. Each cooked egg is put on a crisp fried tortilla and separated or "divorced" by the refried beans. Green sauce accompanies one egg and red sauce the other. The fried tortillas and both sauces can be made ahead. All that's left is to fry the eggs to your preference.


   2 cups Basic Refried Beans
   Basic Cooked Tomatillo Sauce
   Basic Cooked Tomato Sauce
   1/3 cup vegetable oil
   8 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas
   2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or vegetable oil
   8 large eggs
   Salt, to taste


1. Prepare the refried beans. If made ahead, reheat shortly before using. Prepare the tomatillo and tomato sauces. Heat them in separate pans. Heat the oil in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Fry the tortillas, turning once or twice, until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Discard the oil.

2. In the same skillet, heat the butter or oil and fry the eggs to desired doneness. Season lightly with salt.

3. On each of 4 plates, place 2 tortillas, separated. Spoon a line of beans between the tortillas. On each plate, put about 1/4 cup of green sauce on one tortilla and 1/4 cup of red sauce on the other. Top each tortilla with a fried egg. Serve at once.
