For the tortillas:
Heat several tablespoons oil (to a depth of about 3/8ths an inch) in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla and cook until the bottom is very lightly colored and the top begins to bubble. With tongs, turn over and cook the other side. Drain on a paper towel. Repeat, adding oil as necessary, with the other tortillas.
Remove the oil from the skillet and add a tablespoon of butter, Add one egg, cooking until the edges are set. Slightly tilt the skillet and continue to cook, while using a spoon to scoop up the hot butter and toss over the yolk of the egg. As soon as the white is set on the top of the egg, remove to a plate. Continue with the remainder of the eggs, adding butter as necessary.
Assembly:
Place tortilla on a plate, add refried beans on the tortilla or next to it. Top with a generous scoop of Ranchero sauce, then the egg.
Garnish with avocado and red onion.
