Directions

  1. Preheat a convection oven to 375°F and preheat the flat top grill to 350°F.
  2. Place frozen chicken sausage patties on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned with a slight char and heated through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Hold hot.
  3. Reheat the seasoned black beans and ranchero sauce to 165°F and hold hot at 135°F or above. Stir the beans so they are thick and spreadable.
  4. Lightly brush the flat top with canola oil. Cook the corn tortillas for 30 to 45 seconds per side, until warm, pliable and lightly charred. Keep wrapped in a warm towel until plating.
  5. Lower the flat top to 325°F and lightly oil. Crack the eggs onto the flat top, season with salt and black pepper and cook for about 2 minutes, until the whites are fully set. Flip and cook 15 to 30 seconds for over easy, keeping the yolks liquid.
  6. Overlap the 2 tortillas on a warm plate and spread 1/4 cup of black beans over each tortilla.
  7. Top each tortilla with 1 chicken sausage patty and 1 fried egg.
  8. Spoon the ranchero sauce over the patties and around the eggs, partially covering the yolks.
  9. Drizzle the avocado crema over the top and finish with the crumbled queso fresco.
  10. Serve immediately.
