  • Yield: Makes 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 telera breads, sliced lengthwise, some of the inside bread removed
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup NESTLÉ CARNATION Evaporated Fat Free Milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • ¼ cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1 roma tomato, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
  • 1 cup refried beans, mashed to spreadable consistency and warmed
  • 4 teaspoons Cotija cheese, crumbled (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Place bread on a baking sheet, sliced side up. Toast in oven for 10 minutes or until bread begins to brown. Remove from oven; set aside and let cool.
  3. Beat eggs, evaporated milk, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
  4. HEAT oil in a medium skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add onion, tomato and jalapeño; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Pour in egg mixture.
  5. Decrease heat to medium-low. Constantly fold egg mixture with a silicone spatula for about 5 minutes or until eggs are set.
  6. Spread beans evenly on top and bottom halves of each bread. Layer with about ½ cup egg mixture. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Garnish each torta with 1 teaspoon cheese.
  7. Top with top half of bread.

Notes

If telera bread is not available, use French bread or bolillos. Enjoy with your favorite salsa for additional flavor and spice.
