Ingredients

One 15-ounce can refried beans

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 

4 large eggs 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

4 hard corn taco shells, toasted in the oven and broken in half 

1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and diced or sliced 

1 cup store-bought pico de gallo or jarred salsa 

1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro 

Hot sauce, for serving, optional 

Directions

  1. Place the refried beans in a small pot or skillet and heat over medium heat until hot.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until the yolks are done to your liking, 2 to 3 minutes for sunny-side up eggs with still-runny yolks.
  3. To serve, set up 4 plates. Spoon refried beans onto the bottom of each plate and top with a broken taco shell to form a circle. Top each with a cooked egg and avocado, then season with salt. Add some pico de gallo and cilantro. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.

Love this recipe, my husband spent time in the southwest for several years and couldn’t find the right recipe for huevos rancheros nor could we find a restaurant that served them the way he liked here in the northeast. But with recipe we have your huevos rancheros all the time even for dinner at times. He loves making them as much as I love eating them thanks so much for a great recipe!!
