Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 corn tortillas
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 corn tortillas, 4 large eggs, 1 cup of drained and rinsed black beans, 1 cup of salsa, 1 sliced avocado, fresh cilantro for garnish, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the corn tortillas one at a time, cooking each for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and slightly crispy. Remove the tortillas from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the black beans and heat them through for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once heated, remove the beans from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, crack the 4 large eggs, cooking them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, warm the salsa in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- To assemble the Huevos Rancheros, take two corn tortillas and place them on each plate. Top each tortilla with an equal portion of the heated black beans.
- Carefully place two sunny-side-up eggs on top of the black beans on each tortilla.
- Generously spoon the warmed salsa over the eggs and beans, ensuring each serving is well-covered.
- Finish the dish by adding sliced avocado on the side and garnishing with fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately while everything is warm, and enjoy your Easy Healthy Huevos Rancheros!
Tips
- • For the crispiest tortillas, use a cast-iron skillet or well-seasoned griddle • Make sure to drain and rinse black beans thoroughly to reduce sodium • Choose a salsa with fresh ingredients for maximum flavor • Use fresh, ripe avocados for the best texture and taste • Experiment with different types of salsa - from mild to spicy - to customize your dish • If you prefer, you can substitute corn tortillas with whole wheat tortillas for added fiber • For a protein boost, consider adding a sprinkle of queso fresco or a dollop of Greek yogurt • Prep ingredients beforehand to make cooking faster and more enjoyable • Don't overcook the eggs - sunny-side up keeps the yolk creamy and rich
