  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry two tortillas at a time in the hot skillet until firm, but not crisp, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and add more oil to the skillet if dry. Crack in eggs and cook until the outer edges become opaque, about 1 minute. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the whites are completely set, about 4 minutes.
  • While the eggs are cooking, combine refried beans and butter in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high in 1-minute intervals until hot.
  • Place tortillas onto plates and spread with a layer of hot refried beans. Top with Cheddar, a fried egg, crumbled bacon, and salsa.
