Ingredients:
6 small white corn tortillas (or small flour tortillas)
1 1/2 cups refried beans (pinto or black), heated
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
14.5 ounces can fire-roasted tomatoes, with juices
4 ounces can diced green chiles
6 large eggs (fried, poached, scrambled, etc.)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 avocado, chopped
Instructions:
Sauté for Salsa: In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion and garlic, sautéing for a few minutes until the onion is translucent.
Simmer the Sauce: Stir in cumin, salt, pepper, fire-roasted tomatoes with juices, and diced green chiles. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and adjust seasonings to taste.
Prepare the Eggs: In a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (fried, poached, or scrambled). Season with a little salt and pepper as they cook.
Toast the Tortillas: In a clean non-stick skillet lightly sprayed with non-stick spray, heat the tortillas one at a time for about 1 minute on each side.
Assemble: Spread a spoonful of warm refried beans on each tortilla, then spoon salsa over the beans. Place a cooked egg on top of each.
Garnish: Garnish with chopped cilantro and avocado. Serve immediately.
Coach's Notes:
Versatility is Key: Feel free to swap out the white corn tortillas for flour tortillas depending on your preference or what's available in your pantry.
Make it Your Own: Customize your Huevos Rancheros with your favorite style of eggs, be it fried, poached, or scrambled. Each brings a unique texture and flavor to the dish.
Flavor Enhancers: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding chorizo, shredded cheddar, or crumbled cotija cheese to the mix.
Vegan Variation: For a vegan-friendly version, omit the eggs and double up on the beans and avocado, ensuring a hearty and satisfying meal.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of Mexican rice to round out the meal and add an extra dimension of flavor and texture.
