Huevos Rancheros

This is a fantastic meal to have for breakfast or brunch. It's super hearty and packed full of protein, and a great way to use up leftover re-fried beans.

Recipe (Serves 2):

2 corn tortillas
2 eggs
1 cup refried beans
1 cup salsa
1 avocado
4 tbsp sour cream (optional)
few springs of cilantro

Quick and Easy Peasy

Usually, Huevos Rancheros are made using corn tortillas, but we used flour tortillas because we had extra. The eggs can be poached or fried, but we always poach ours for this. If you already have refried beans on hand, this is a super quick meal, coming together in the time it takes to poach 2 eggs (12 minutes). From there, assembly is probably not even a minute.

Assembly

Place 1/2 cup beans on each tortilla, place the egg on top of the beans, and top with salsa. Serve with 1/2 sliced avocado and sour cream, if preferred. We don't consider the avocados to be optional. Should eat one a day anyway.

Here is the stove top action:

Refried beans re-refrying, 2 eggs poaching, 2 tortillas warming

And here is the finished product, garnished with cilantro from the garden, not just to make it look pretty, but for authentic Mexican flavor.
