Ingredients
Sauce:
-
1 16-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
-
1 medium tomato, diced
-
½ cup diced red onion
-
½ cup diced green bell pepper
-
6 serrano chiles, stems removed, diced
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
-
Eggs:
-
4 eggs
-
4 corn tortillas
-
Vegetable oil for frying
-
1 small avocado, peeled and diced
-
Garnish: Grated Monterey Jack cheese and chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients and let the mixture sit for at least an hour. Or if you prefer, prepare the night before and refrigerate, covered, overnight.
Before serving, pour the sauce in a pot and simmer to heat.
Pour the oil in a small skillet to a depth of an inch and heat until hot. Fry each tortilla in the oil for a few seconds on each side to soften, remove and drain. Pour off all but a couple of teaspoons of oil.
Add the eggs to the pan and fry to desired doneness.
To Assemble: Place a tortilla on individual plates. Stir the diced avocado into the sauce and ladle some of the sauce on each tortilla and top with an egg. Garnish the eggs with the cheese, sprinkle the cilantro over the top, and serve.

Probably the most famous of all the chile breakfasts is huevos rancheros, or ranch eggs. This was the meal traditionally served to Mexican ranch hands after a hard early morning’s work. The basic recipe calls for salsa, tortillas, and eggs, but there are an endless number of variations of the recipe. For instance the eggs can be fried and placed on the sauce or poached right in the sauce, and the salsa can be made with red or green chile, which can be homemade or prepared.
