There is nothing better than starting the day with this classic Mexican dish. I love how the smoky sauce and the creaminess of the beans work together, making every bite feel like a special treat at home.

My top tip is to broil your vegetables until they have a little char. It makes such a difference in the flavor of the ranchero sauce, giving it a depth that tastes like it cooked for hours.

🧺 Ingredients

4 corn tortillas
4 large eggs
1 cup refried black beans
4 plum tomatoes
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and garlic on a baking sheet and broil for 8 minutes until charred.
2
Transfer the broiled vegetables to a blender, add the chipotle powder and lime juice, and pulse until you have a slightly chunky sauce.
3
Pour the sauce into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat while you prepare the rest of the meal.
4
Warm the refried beans in a separate small pot until they are hot and creamy.
5
Heat the olive oil in a skillet and lightly fry the tortillas until they are crisp, then remove them and set aside.
6
In the same skillet, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness.
7
To serve, spread the beans over each tortilla, top with an egg, pour the warm sauce over everything, and finish with avocado, cheese, and cilantro.

💡 Tips

Serve these right away while the tortillas are still crisp. If you have leftovers, store the sauce and the beans in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days.
