# Instructions:
01 -
Warm the black beans in a saucepan over medium heat. Season the beans with salt, black pepper, and lime juice to taste. Allow them to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
02 -
Heat 15 milliliters of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Briefly warm each corn tortilla until it becomes pliable and slightly toasted. Set the warmed tortillas aside, keeping them warm if possible.
03 -
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 15 milliliters of olive oil. Carefully fry the four large eggs to your preferred doneness, such as sunny-side up or over-easy. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper immediately after frying.
04 -
Place one warm corn tortilla on each serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the prepared black beans onto the tortilla. Gently place a fried egg on top of the black beans.
05 -
Spoon a desired amount of salsa over the fried egg. Finish each Huevos Rancheros with your selection of garnishes, including sliced avocado, guacamole, sour cream, crumbled cheese (Cotija, queso fresco, or feta), fresh chopped cilantro, and pickled red onions. Add a dash of hot sauce if a spicier flavor is desired. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
# Notes:
01 -
Customize salsa with store-bought or homemade options. For added heat, include cayenne pepper in beans or use a spicier salsa.
02 -
Substitute black beans with pinto beans or refried beans; ensure refried beans are drained before warming.
03 -
Achieve perfectly fried eggs using a non-stick skillet and avoiding overcrowding. Cook over low heat for even results.
04 -
Select high-quality corn tortillas for optimal flavor and texture. Consider reputable brands or preparing them fresh.
05 -
For a vegan version, replace eggs with tofu scramble or plant-based alternatives. Use vegan sour cream and cheese, and add extra avocado for healthy fats.
