Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 medium, finely diced (optional) Jalapeño pepper
• 14 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 large Eggs
• 4 Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup Crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
• 1 sliced Avocado
• 2 teaspoons (optional) Hot sauce

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and diced jalapeño (if using) to the skillet, and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 3

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer the ranchero sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 4

While the sauce cooks, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny-side-up is traditional). Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas by lightly toasting them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20 seconds.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of refried beans over each tortilla. Place one cooked egg on each tortilla and spoon over a generous amount of the ranchero sauce.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, crumbled queso fresco, and avocado slices. Add a drizzle of hot sauce, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious plate of homemade Huevos Rancheros!
