Preheat oven to 450°F. 

Cut the tortillas into 3 fat strips, spray with cooking spray and a toss loosely on 2 baking sheets lined with wire racks. Roast tortillas for 10 minutes until deeply golden and crispy. Salt while hot and reserve. 

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the oil. Add chorizo and brown and crumble; add onions and garlic, and cook to soften. Add beans and chipotle purée then add beer and evaporate by half. Add tomato sauce, season with cumin, oregano and cinnamon, and simmer a few minutes to thicken. 

In a food processor, purée avocado with sour cream and lime juice. Salt to taste. 

Melt butter over medium heat and cook 1 egg per portion over-easy or to desired doneness. 

Divide tortilla strips among 4 plates and top with chorizo and beans, chopped cilantro, radishes, Queso Fresco, scallions and pickled jalapeños. Top chilaquiles with an egg and serve avocado cream on the side.
