Huevos Rancheros with Black Beans
Sunny eggs rest on warm corn tortillas with smoky chipotle ranchero salsa, hearty black beans, creamy avocado, and queso fresco.
Ingredients
- 🥚 2 large eggs
- 🌽 2 small corn tortillas (6-inch)
- 🫘 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 🍅 1/2 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 🧅 2 tablespoons finely diced yellow onion
- 🌶️ 1 teaspoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 🧄 1 garlic clove, minced
- 🥑 1/4 medium avocado, sliced
- 🧀 1 ounce queso fresco, crumbled
- 🫒 1 1/4 teaspoons olive oil
Directions
- Drain and rinse the black beans in a fine-mesh strainer, then set them aside.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute, warm the tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds per side until flexible, and transfer them to a plate.
- Add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to the skillet over medium heat, then cook the onion for 2 minutes, stirring once, until softened.
- Add the garlic, chipotle pepper, and fire-roasted tomatoes, then simmer over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a chunky salsa.
- Stir the black beans into the salsa and cook over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, stirring gently, until the beans are hot.
- Spoon the bean-and-salsa mixture onto the plate, leaving the skillet empty for the eggs.
- Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet over medium-low heat, crack in the eggs, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are fully set and the yolks remain runny; cover the skillet for the final 60 seconds if the tops are still translucent.
- Place the tortillas on a serving plate, top with the warm bean mixture and eggs, then finish with the avocado slices and crumbled queso fresco.
