Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Bowls are a flavorful, satisfying, and hearty way to start your day. Packed with crispy tortillas, spicy salsa, seasoned eggs, and fresh toppings, these bowls are a delicious twist on the traditional Mexican dish.
Ingredients
- 2 large corn tortillas (or flour tortillas, if preferred)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite variety)
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: sliced jalapeños, lime wedges, and diced onions for extra flavor
Instructions
1. Prepare the Tortillas
Start by cutting the corn tortillas into strips or wedges (about 6-8 pieces per tortilla). Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla strips and cook for 2-3 minutes until they’re crispy and golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Cook the Eggs
In the same skillet, crack 2 eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness – sunny-side-up is traditional for Huevos Rancheros, but you can scramble them if preferred. Set the eggs aside.
3. Warm the Beans and Salsa
In a small saucepan, combine the black beans and salsa over medium heat. Warm them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will heat the beans through and allow the salsa to come together with the beans.
4. Assemble the Bowls
To assemble the bowls, start with a layer of the crispy tortilla strips at the bottom. Add the salsa and black bean mixture on top of the tortilla strips. Place a cooked egg on top of the bean mixture.
5. Add Toppings
Top with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese and sliced avocado. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy touch. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and add any optional toppings like sliced jalapeños, lime wedges, or diced onions for an extra burst of flavor.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately, and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors and textures in every bite. These Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Bowls are sure to become a favorite!
Tips
- You can use store-bought salsa or make your own with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, and chili for added freshness.
- Feel free to swap the black beans for pinto beans or refried beans if you prefer.
- Add more heat by including some hot sauce or chopped fresh chilies.
- For a more substantial bowl, include some rice or quinoa at the bottom before layering the rest of the ingredients.
Enjoy these Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Bowls for a flavorful start to your morning or a satisfying brunch!
