Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the tortilla triangles on a large baking tray, spaced apart, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 5 mins, then add the garlic and fry for 1 min. Add the kidney beans and fry for 2 mins, then add the tomatoes and ½ tin of water.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 mins. Make 4 indents in the sauce and crack an egg into each one. Cook for 5 mins until the eggs are starting to set. Transfer the pan to the oven and put the tortillas on the shelf below. Bake for 5-7 mins until the eggs are set and the tortillas are golden.
- Meanwhile, mix the yogurt with the lime juice. To serve, scatter the coriander and avocado over the eggs and serve with the crispy tortillas, lime wedges and yogurt.
