Breakfast Sopes

Breakfast does not have to be complicated. Place a fried egg on top of anything and voila you have breakfast.

Ok, maybe it’s not that simple, but seriously, this breakfast was made in under 15 minutes. These breakfast sopes are perfect for a busy weekday morning, but look fancy enough to enjoy with a cup of joe for a sit-down weekend breakfast.

I’m all about leftovers and these store-bought sopes are smothered with homemade refried beans made with leftover frijoles de la olla, guacamole, and bacon leftover from this cobb salad.

All I did was heat up sopes on a comal with a bit of olive oil, smothered them with refried beans, a generous dollop of guacamole, and then placed a fried egg on top and drizzled some Valentina hot sauce.

Sure, you can get fancy and make your own sopes, but I’m telling you these store-bought sopes are pretty darn awesome in a pinch.
