Start your day with a burst of flavor and nutrition by whipping up a delicious plate of Black Bean Huevos Rancheros. This hearty Mexican-inspired breakfast dish is sure to satisfy your taste buds while providing a nutritious start to your day. With a combination of protein-packed black beans, zesty salsa, creamy avocado, and perfectly cooked eggs, this dish is a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup salsa
- 4 small corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation:
- Prepare the Black Beans: In a medium saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are soft and pliable. Keep warm in a clean kitchen towel.
- Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them to your desired level of doneness. For traditional Huevos Rancheros, cook the eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, ensuring the yolks are still runny.
- Assemble the Dish: To assemble each serving, place a warm tortilla on a plate. Spread a generous spoonful of warmed black beans over the tortilla. Top with a spoonful of salsa, followed by a cooked egg. Add sliced avocado on top of the egg and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Repeat for each serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the Huevos Rancheros with fresh cilantro leaves and additional salsa, if desired. Serve immediately while still warm.
