Step-by-Step Instructions for Huevos Rancheros
  1. Prepare the Salsa by simmering chopped tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
  2. Cook the Beans by combining the reserved salsa with canned black beans and a dash of salt and pepper in a large skillet. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, mashing some beans for creaminess.
  3. Cook the Tortillas by heating a cast-iron skillet and lightly greasing it. Cook corn tortillas for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crisp. Keep warm.
  4. Fry the Eggs in the same skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook for approximately 2½ minutes until the whites are set and yolks are runny.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Spread the creamy bean mixture on a warm tortilla, top with a fried egg, drizzle with salsa, and add your preferred toppings.
