Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas
- 4 eggs

- 1/2 cup of green salsa
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil

- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the corn tortillas one at a time for about 1 minute on each side until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Huevos divorciados, or "divorced eggs," is a traditional Mexican breakfast dish featuring two fried eggs served with two different types of salsa, typically a red salsa and a green salsa, separated by a line of refried beans or tortillas. This symbolic dish is said to represent a couple that has "divorced" and is no longer together, hence the separation of the eggs with different salsas. The dish is believed to have originated in Mexico City, but variations can be found throughout the country. Chefs like Enrique Olvera have popularized this dish, and it can be found in many authentic Mexican restaurants. For the best version, look for a restaurant that uses fresh, homemade salsas and perfectly cooked eggs. The key to this dish is the balance of flavors between the two salsas and the quality of the eggs. Some alternative methods include serving the eggs on separate tortillas or adding toppings like avocado or queso fresco. For a truly authentic experience, seek out a restaurant with a talented chef who takes pride in their traditional Mexican cuisine.
