Breakfast Tortas



4 ciabatta rolls
3/4 cup refried black beans
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons lime juice
3 to 5 drops chipotle hot pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 Eggs
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 cooked bacon strips, halved
1/2 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup salsa
2 green onions, chopped


1. Cut the top third off each roll; hollow out bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell (discard removed bread or save for another use). Place roll bottoms on an ungreased baking sheet.

2. In a small bowl, combine the beans, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, pepper sauce and salt. Spread 1/4 cup inside each roll. Break an egg into each roll. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes.

3. Sprinkle cheese over eggs. Brush roll tops with olive oil; place on the baking sheet. Bake 5-8 minutes longer or until egg whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not firm. Top each with bacon, avocado, salsa and onions. Replace roll tops.

Yield: 4 servings.
