Cast Iron Grill | Griddle

Ingredients

4 corn tortillas
½ can refried beans
¼ pound of chorizo, ground
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 eggs
¼ cup salsa
Avocado slices
Lime wedges

Directions

Preheat Double Play Reversible Grill / Griddle over low to medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
Brush lightly with cooking oil and add the tortillas, flipping once until crispy and slightly puffy.
Set 2 tortillas on each plate. Spoon a layer of refried beans onto each tortilla.
Mix half the cilantro with the chorizo. Cook on the griddle for 6-8 minutes. and then place atop the refried beans.
Crack eggs onto remaining chorizo grease and cook to desired texture (we recommend over-easy).
Place 1 egg atop each layered tortilla. Serve with salsa, remaining cilantro, avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime.
When frying eggs, always be sure to let the bottom set before attempting to flip. A thin metal spatula works great, and is perfectly safe on cast iron cookware.
