When I was gifted with a dozen farm fresh eggs, and some beautiful California grown avocados, I decided that Huevos Rancheros would be the perfect way to enjoy these. I made a homemade salsa to go with this. What a tasty and hearty breakfast!
Serves: 2
Heat the black beans. Add a splash of chicken stock and lightly mash. I like to leave them chunky and some whole. Heat a little bit of vegetable oil and lightly cook the corn tortillas; drain and pat dry and set aside. Cook eggs (2 per serving) sunny side up. Preheat the broiler: Layer 2-3 corn tortillas, then a layer of black beans. Sprinkle a little Cotija cheese on top and broil for about 30-45 seconds– enough to melt the cheese. Add a layer of salsa, then the eggs. Garnish with a little more Cotija Cheese and an ample amount of fresh avocado– the best part!
