A speedy, vibrant take on huevos rancheros with warm tortillas, creamy beans, and sunny eggs in a zesty tomato-chile sauce. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or quick brunch.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Sauté onion and jalapeño until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in garlic for 30 seconds. Add salsa, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 5–7 minutes to thicken slightly, then fold in black beans to warm.
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable. Stack and cover with a towel to keep warm.
Heat remaining 0.5 tbsp oil in a nonstick pan. Fry eggs sunny-side up until whites set, 2–3 minutes.
Layer tortillas with warm beans and sauce. Top each with an egg, queso fresco, avocado, and cilantro.
Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and serve hot.
Notes
Variation: Add crispy chorizo or bacon beneath the egg, or swap black beans for pinto beans. Prefer softer tortillas? Briefly pan-fry in a little oil for pliable, lightly crisp edges. Make-ahead tip: The sauce and beans keep 3–4 days refrigerated; reheat gently and fry eggs fresh for serving.This recipe is an original creation inspired by classic Easy Huevos Rancheros Delight flavors.
