Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 corn tortillas
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup salsa or Colorado sauce
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by measuring and chopping: crumble the feta cheese, chop fresh cilantro, and ensure black beans are warmed.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Warm the corn tortillas individually in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are slightly crisp but still pliable. Set aside and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil and carefully crack the eggs, cooking them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season eggs with salt and pepper.
- While eggs are cooking, heat the black beans in a separate small pan, seasoning lightly with salt.
- To assemble, place a warm tortilla on each plate and spread a layer of heated black beans across the tortilla.
- Carefully place a fried egg on top of the black beans on each tortilla.
- Generously spoon Colorado sauce or salsa over the eggs, ensuring good coverage.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of each serving.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and add additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately while eggs and tortillas are still warm, enjoying the rich flavors of this classic Mexican breakfast dish.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare all your ingredients in advance. Crumble the feta, chop the cilantro, and warm the black beans so everything is ready to go when you start cooking.
- Perfect Tortillas: When warming the corn tortillas, keep the heat at medium to avoid burning. A little crispness adds a delightful texture, but they should remain pliable for easy folding.
- Egg Cooking: For perfectly cooked eggs, crack them gently into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up for a runny yolk, or flip them for over-easy eggs if you prefer a firmer yolk.
- Sauce Variations: Feel free to experiment with different salsas or sauces to customize the flavor. A spicy salsa can add an extra kick!
- Garnishing: Don’t skimp on the garnishes! Fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of feta cheese not only enhance the flavor but also add a beautiful presentation to your dish.
- Serving Fresh: Serve your Huevos Rancheros immediately after assembling to enjoy the warm, contrasting textures of the eggs, tortillas, and sauce.
