Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup salsa, plus more for serving
- 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: avocado, cilantro, hot sauce
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Stir in the rinsed black beans, cumin, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and slightly mashed. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (scrambled, fried, or over-easy).
- If scrambling, whisk eggs with a splash of milk or water, salt, and pepper, then cook until set. If frying, cook until the whites are set and yolks are still runny.
- Warm the corn tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-60 seconds until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon a portion of the black bean mixture onto each warm tortilla.
- Top the beans with a cooked egg.
- Drizzle with salsa and sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
- Add any desired optional toppings like avocado, cilantro, or hot sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Tacos!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bean mixture or use a spicier salsa.
- You can prepare the black bean mixture ahead of time and reheat it before assembling the tacos.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add other vegetables like bell peppers or jalapeños to the bean mixture.
