Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus 1 teaspoon for eggs
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cloves garlic, divided
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, divided
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, optional
  • 1 avocado, diced, optional
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, optional
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges, optional

Method
 

  1. Heat ¼ cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry 4 corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds per side until lightly crisped but still pliable. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Pour out most of the oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  4. Add 1 can (15 oz) of black beans (drained and rinsed), 2 cloves of minced garlic, ½ teaspoon of cumin, and salt to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes, mashing some of the beans with a fork. Keep warm.
  5. For the ranchero sauce: In a blender, combine 1 can (14.5 oz) of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, ½ small onion, 1 clove of garlic, ½ teaspoon of cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  6. Pour the sauce into a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Heat the additional teaspoon oil in a separate nonstick skillet; fry four eggs until whites and yolks are firm.
  8. To assemble: Place a crispy tortilla on each plate, spread with black beans, top with a fried egg, and ladle ranchero sauce over everything.
  9. Garnish with shredded cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
  10. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
