Description
Skillet Ranch Eggs is a delicious and hearty breakfast dish featuring eggs cooked in a flavorful mixture of black beans, tomatoes, and spices, served on warm corn tortillas with avocado and cilantro.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Corn tortillas (for serving)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Using a spoon, create four small wells in the bean and tomato mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the eggs are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
- Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the huevos rancheros on warm tortillas, topped with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the skillet along with the onions and bell peppers.
- To make this dish vegetarian-friendly, substitute the black beans with pinto beans or refried beans for a different texture.
