Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Preheat oven to 200ºC or barbecue on high heat with lid down, and line 4 shallow bowls with a double layer of tin foil (approximately 30cm x 40cm). Spray lightly with cooking oil and place 1 tortilla on each.

2 In a large bowl, place beans, corn, capsicum, pepper, oregano, tinned tomato, chipotle and cheese and combine well. Divide the mixture among 4 tortillas. Make a small well in the centre and carefully crack one egg onto each. Fold tin foil over to seal contents (taking care not to pierce the egg yolk).

3 Place into oven or barbecue and close lid, cooking for approximately 20 minutes or until egg is cooked to your liking.

4 In a serving bowl, combine fresh tomato, onion, avocado and coriander. Serve huevos packets topped with tomato salsa and black pepper.
