Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 ½ cups fresh tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped

  • ¼ cup sliced green onions

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • salt, to taste

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (19 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce

  • 8 (7 inch) flour tortillas

  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • 4 eggs

Directions

  1. To make the salsa: Stir tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, 1 clove minced garlic, and salt together in a bowl until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

  3. Place 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute until light brown. Mix in black beans, chicken broth, and chiles; simmer until beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and keep warm.

  4. Place four tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese evenly over tortillas; top with remaining four tortillas. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  5. Bake tortillas in preheated oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

  6. Place remaining 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet; heat over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet and cook to desired firmness.

  7. To assemble huevos rancheros: Place cheese-filled tortillas on four serving plates. Top each tortilla with black bean mixture, a layer of salsa, and an egg. Serve immediately.
