Instructions
1
Prep
Husk and halve the tomatillo, roughly chop the serrano, onion, and garlic, mince the cilantro, and measure the black beans and chicken breast.
2
Char
Place tomatillo, serrano, onion, and garlic on a foil-lined tray under a hot broiler for 6–8 minutes, turning once, until skins blister and blacken.
3
Blitz
Transfer charred vegetables to a blender with chicken stock and blitz on high for 30 seconds until mostly smooth.
4
Simmer
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, pour in blended sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5
Fold
Stir chicken, black beans, and cilantro into the sauce, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until warmed through.
6
Poach
Crack eggs into the simmering sauce, spacing them apart, cover, and poach over medium-low heat for 4–5 minutes until whites set and yolks jiggle.
7
Finish
Scatter queso fresco over the skillet and place the warmed tortilla alongside.
8
Plate
Spoon eggs and sauce onto a plate with the tortilla for scooping.
