Huevos Rancheros Made Weeknight Simple

Here is one of my absolute favorite recipes made with three main staples you likely already have in your home: black beans, eggs and salsa. It passes the weeknight test ("Can I come home exhausted, cook it in under half an hour and it will still taste great?") and tastes really fresh and healthy with the cilantro and scallions. This is a great meatless entree, a great protein blast for the end of your day (and good leftovers for breakfast if you have any!).

I serve this as is, but you can put over oven warmed tortillas to be more authentic.


Ingredients

  • 16-ounce jar salsa (2 cups)
  • 15.5-ounce can black beans, rinsed
  • large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp. Asian chili paste (or hot sauce of your choice) 
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 5 scallions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, combine the salsa and beans and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add chili sauce and stir.
  2. Make 4 wells in the bean mixture. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slide it gently into a well. Season with salt and pepper.(Some people also add a little bit of cumin here, but I skip this.)
  3. Cook, covered, over medium heat, 3 to 5 minutes for slightly runny yolks.
  4. Sprinkle with the scallions and cilantro. Divide among plates and serve with sour cream.
  5. If you can spare the extra calories, sprinkle with a bit of Mexican blend cheese.
