Huevos Rancheros

Ingredients:

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes, chopped)

  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Casa de S.A. Tex-Mex Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper, to taste (if needed)

For the Huevos Rancheros:

  • 4 large eggs

  • 4 corn tortillas

  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed if canned)

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sauce:

    • Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

    • Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and Casa de S.A. Tex-Mex Blend. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside.

  2. Cook the Tortillas:

    • In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Lightly fry the corn tortillas until they are crispy but still pliable, about 1-2 minutes per side. Keep warm.

  3. Cook the Eggs:

    • In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness—sunny-side up is traditional for huevos rancheros. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. Assemble the Huevos Rancheros:

    • Place a warm tortilla on each plate. Spread a portion of the black beans on top of each tortilla. Spoon some of the prepared sauce over the beans. Carefully place a cooked egg on top of the sauce.

  5. Add Toppings:

    • Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs while still warm, allowing it to melt slightly. Top with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.

  6. Serve:

    • Serve your huevos rancheros with lime wedges on the side, if desired. Enjoy with extra tortillas or a side of your choice!
