Overview
Huevos tirados is a Veracruz plate of scrambled eggs folded into refried black beans, typically served with a side of fried sweet plantains. The combination yields a savory‑sweet balance, with the creamy bean texture coating each egg curd. It is eaten as either desayuno or a late‑morning almuerzo [1].
Origin and regional spread
The dish is strongly linked to Veracruz café and antojito breakfast culture [1]. Unlike the nationwide huevos con frijoles, huevos tirados are defined by the inclusion of fried plantains and the specific technique of incorporating the beans directly into the eggs.
Core ingredients
- Eggs (scrambled)
- Refried black beans
- Fried plantain (sweet)
How it’s made
The dish is prepared by folding refried black beans into scrambled eggs. Ripe plantains are fried separately and served alongside.
