  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion (1 small)
  • 1/2 cup diced poblano pepper (1 large), seeds and ribs discarded
  • 1 small fresh jalapeño pepper (seeds and ribs discarded, minced)

Huevos Rancheros Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon canola oil (or) OR
  • 1 teaspoon corn oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 6-inch corn tortillas (warm)
  • 1 15.5-ounce can no-salt-added black beans (rinsed, drained)

Directions

Tip: Click on step to mark as complete.

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion for 2 minutes, or until almost soft, stirring frequently. Cook the poblano and jalapeño peppers for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, water, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cover to keep warm.
  2. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the edges are fully cooked.
  3. Place a tortilla on each plate. Top each tortilla with the beans and an egg. Being careful not to break the yolk, gently top each egg with the warm salsa, cheese, and avocado slices.
  4. Sprinkle each serving with the cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge.

Cooking Tip: Handling Hot Chiles: Hot chiles contain oils that can burn your skin, lips, and eyes. Wear disposable gloves or wash your hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after handling hot chiles. Examples of hot chiles are Anaheim, ancho, bhut jolokia (ghost), cascabel, cayenne, cherry, chipotle, habanero, Hungarian wax, jalapeño, poblano, Scotch bonnet, serrano, and Thai. A rule of thumb is that the smaller the pepper, the hotter it is.
