1. Place Roma tomatoes, serrano chili, and unpeeled garlic cloves directly on a dry comal or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Char on all sides until blackened in spots and softened, about 8–10 minutes. Peel the garlic once cool enough to handle.

3. Drain and rinse the black beans. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm olive oil, then add half the diced white onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ground cumin and Mexican oregano, stir for 30 seconds, then add the black beans. Mash roughly with the back of a spoon, season with salt, and keep warm over low heat.

5. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and use a spatula to gently fold and push the curds from the edges to the center continuously. Remove from heat while still slightly underdone — residual heat will finish them. They should be soft, silky, and just set.

6. Warm the corn tortillas directly on the comal or a dry skillet over medium-high heat, about 30 seconds per side, until pliable and lightly charred. Double them up in pairs.
