How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spread tortilla pieces over tray and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden.
- Heat oil in a large, lidded frying pan over high heat. Add chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until starting to crisp. Add garlic, capsicum, spring onion and chilli, and cook, stirring regularly, until the vegetables have softened and caramelised.
- Add tomato and beans, together with the liquid from both cans. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir through baby spinach for 1 minute or until just wilted.
- Using a spoon, make 4 small wells in the mixture, then crack an egg into each. Cover with lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Drizzle with lime juice and serve immediately with tortillas.
