This is one of the easiest things to cook of all Oaxacan food and also one of the most filling. Just fry a hard omelet—called a huevo en torta in Spanish—and throw it in a bowl filled with leftover half-mashed beans along with some chopped epazote for some freshness. Serving with some chiles toreados and fresh-cut lime really makes this dish.
