Authentic Huevos Rancheros

When it comes to brunch dishes, it simply does not get much better than this. The homemade ranchero sauce is easy and essential. Of course, homemade refried beans are fantastic, too, but purchased beans will work just fine, too.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°F.
  2. Heat the ranchero sauce and refried beans over medium-low heat on the stove.
  3. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over high heat, until the oil is shimmering.
  4. One at a time, fry the tortillas just until they begin to crisp, about 60 seconds on one side. Flip and fry for another 45 seconds. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Cover, and keep warm on a baking sheet in the oven.
  5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat.
  6. Crack 4 of the eggs into the skillet.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the yolks are just set, about 2 to 3 minutes for sunny-side-up eggs. Place the eggs on a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining eggs.
  8. Place two tortillas on each plate, slightly overlapping. Spread about ¼ cup of beans over each tortilla. Use a spatula to carefully top each bean-covered tortilla with a cooked egg. Spoon the warm ranchero sauce over the eggs. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve at once.
