Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Fry tortillas one at a time, 30 seconds per side, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3
Pour off most oil, leaving 1 tbsp in the pan. Add diced tomatoes and minced habanero; simmer until slightly reduced, 4 minutes.
Step 4
Warm refried beans in a small pot or microwave until spreadable, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Crack eggs into the same skillet with the tomato sauce. Cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Stack each plate: crispy tortilla, spread of warm beans, second tortilla, fried egg with sauce on top. Finish with queso fresco and cilantro.
