Add remaining ingredients except cilantro and heat until boiling. Reduce heat and let simmer for about five minutes or until salsa thickens. Add cilantro and mix.

Make four wells in the salsa. Add one egg to each well. Cover and let cook until whites firm up and yellows are still soft.

Wrap tortillas in paper towels and heat in microwave for one minute.

To serve lay one tortilla on plate and spread with bean mixture.
