What Are Tacos Rancheros Made Of?

Originally, tacos rancheros used to include fried eggs on corn tortillas smothered in warm salsa. Newer versions have made it with fresh salsa, beans, and cheese. Both ways are delicious, but to save you and me time, we are making the newer version today.

I included these tacos in The Taco Tuesday Cookbook since this traditional Mexican breakfast is savory, fresh, and oh so delicious. It takes no time to prepare, and I can never resist runny egg yolk action!

Ingredients

8 corn tortillas
15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 large eggs
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Toppings:

½ cup Pico de Gallo
Sour cream
½ avocado, peeled and diced
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

Toast the tortillas:

Place an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the broiler to low.
Spread out the tortillas on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Broil for 2 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the tortillas over so the toasted side is face down.

Add the filling:

Divide the black beans among the tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it next to the stovetop.

Fry the eggs:

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Crack two eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are cooked through, then flip. Transfer each egg to one of the tortillas on top of the black beans and cheese. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle with pepper.
