Fresh Huevos Rancheros
Description
Fresh Huevos Rancheros start with frying a tortilla briefly in oil until it is just crispy, giving a sturdy base that maintains texture under toppings. Black beans provide a hearty, earthy layer, followed by a fried egg cooked to preference, adding richness. Diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro contribute freshness and a light juiciness, while crumbled cotija cheese adds a salty, tangy note. Sliced avocado brings smooth creaminess to the dish.
The dish is finished with salt, pepper, and a touch of ranchera salsa or hot sauce, introducing mild heat and acidity that enliven each bite. This preparation keeps the ingredients distinct but balanced, suitable for a wholesome breakfast or lunch served individually.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 (6-inch) tortilla
- ¼ cup black beans cooked and drained
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes

- 1 to 2 tablespoons ranchera salsa or hot sauce
- salt to taste

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a small skillet on medium heat. Add the tortilla and cook for 30 seconds on each side, until it becomes slightly crispy. Use tongs to remove the tortilla to a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- In the same pan, crack one egg. Fry the egg until it's cooked to your liking.
- To layer the huevos rancheros, add the tortilla to a plate. Top with black beans and the fried egg.
- Sprinkle the diced tomato, cilantro and cotija cheese on top.
- Slice the avocado and add a couple slices to the plate.
- Season with salt and pepper and add a dash of hot sauce, then serve.
