2 teaspoons bacon drippings
1 cup pinto beans
¼ cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
Salt
black pepper
1 cup salsa martajada
4 corn tortillas

- Drain the oil and pour the salsa martajada around the eggs. Cook until the salsa is warm, about 1 minute.
- War the tortillas directly over the stove top flame, flipping often with tongs, until warm and charred on the edges. Alternately warm on a comal over medium high heat until warm and brown in spots. Set on serving plates.
- Spread the refried beans on top of each tortilla, divided evenly, and top with a fried egg. Spoon the extra salsa in the skillet onto each egg. Garnish with any of the optional toppings.
