Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 corn tortillas
- 1 can cooking spray
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Using a round cutter or a small bowl, cut each corn tortilla into smaller circles to fit snugly into the muffin tin cups. Lightly press one tortilla circle into each of six cups to form a base.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans into the bottom of each tortilla cup.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the beans in each cup.
Crack one egg into each muffin cup, being careful not to break the yolk.
Season each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper, then place the muffin tin in the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (adjust baking time if you prefer firmer yolks).
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cups cool slightly before carefully running a knife around the edges to release them.
Top each Huevos Rancheros cup with a spoonful of salsa, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful breakfast or brunch!
