Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole-grain tortillas
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup black beans (low sodium, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup small red onion, finely diced
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
- 1 piece lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the whole-grain tortillas on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed and slightly creamy. Mash lightly with the back of a fork, leaving some beans whole.
To prepare the fresh salsa, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and lime juice in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
Line four small ramekins or oven-safe bowls with a light coating of non-stick spray or olive oil. Crack one egg into each ramekin and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
Assemble the Huevos Rancheros by spreading a scoop of the black bean mixture onto each warm tortilla. Carefully place one baked egg on top of each tortilla.
Spoon the fresh salsa over the eggs, then garnish with sliced avocado and additional cilantro as desired.
Serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side, and enjoy your healthier Huevos Rancheros!
