Preparation:

Step 1
• Prepare the salsaPlace a grater in a large bowl. Grate the tomatoes and onion. Add the jalapeño, chopped garlic, hot sauce, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste to the same bowl. Heat a medium skillet over low heat and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Cook the salsa in the oil until slightly thickened (3 minutes). Transfer to a bowl. Add the beans to the same skillet along with the crushed garlic, 1/2 cup warm water, and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat until heated through, lightly fluffing with a fork.
Step 2
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in another skillet. Fry the eggs until sunny-side up, making sure the yolks are still runny on top. Season with pepper. Place 1 warm tortilla on each plate. Divide the beans among the servings, then top with a fried egg, a little salsa and cheese. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with the remaining salsa.
