Description

Start the day with boldly flavored huevos rancheros, the classic Mexican breakfast of pan-fried tortillas, refried beans, sunny-side up eggs, fresh avocado and plenty of salsa.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 8 corn tortillas (6 inches)
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 medium ripe avocado, peeled, sliced
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn tortillas; fry 30-60 seconds per side or until crispy. Set aside.
  2. To the same skillet, add onion; cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook one minute longer. Add black beans and water; simmer until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove to a bowl; use the back of a fork to smash black beans.
  3. Reduce skillet heat to medium; coat with cooking spray. Break eggs, 1 at a time, into pan; reduce heat to low. Cook until whites are set and yolks begin to thicken, turning once if desired. Sprinkle cooked eggs with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Spread black beans on fried tortillas; top with one cooked egg and slices of avocado. Top with salsa, pico de gallo and cilantro.
