This was great! I smeared oil on flour tortilla`s instead of spraying them. I did like another reviewer, I fried the eggs, put them on & then the cheese & put them back in the oven that was still hot to melt the cheese & heat them up some more. My husband wanted two eggs on his & that worked also. Will definitely make again!

Wonderful! Part of my "eat less meat" series we're trying. I did mash some of the beans first, which I recommend (makes them very spreadable). I did fry my eggs separately. I layered egg, beans, cheese, then (since the oven was already on), baked them for a few minutes to melt the cheese. I also topped with a bit more picante, which was delicious...it was ALL delicious, and hearty!

This was a delicious and fast Mexican dish. I used black beans because that was what I had on hand. Didn't have picante sauce either, so I blended 1/2 c. tomato sauce, 1/4 c. green onions, 2 tbs. green chilis and 1/4 c. tomatoes in the food processor. I will be making this again, thanks for posting!

I am a big fan of Cooking Light and any recipe for Mexican food that is tasty, fast, and healthy for a quick weeknight dinner. This was very good I usually have all of the fixings on hand. It can also easily be dressed up with tomatoes, avocado or other toppings if desired. We really liked the crunch of the tortillas. I will be making this in the future. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Made this up for dinner and was suprised at how good it was!! Used diced tomatoes with green chili peppers since that's what was in the pantry and it was perfect. I'm sure I'll be whipping this up on a regular basis.
