Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Toss the tortilla triangles with the oil and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning in a large bowl. Evenly spread on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, tossing the chips halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the tomatoes, onions, 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves and stems, jalapeño, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning in a blender. Blend until very smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan, cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce deepens in color and the flavors meld, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Put the refried beans and 2 to 3 tablespoons water in another small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the toasted chips from the oven and dollop with the refried beans. Evenly pour the sauce over the chips. Make 8 small wells in the sauce and chip mixture throughout the baking sheet and crack the eggs into the wells. Bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the eggs are just set (the egg whites will be opaque and the yolks will still be runny), 10 to 12 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the cheese, avocado and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Chop your veggies, grate your cheese, and measure out your spices before you start cooking. This will make the process go much smoother and faster.
- Choose Ripe Tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the better your sauce will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Don't Overcook the Eggs: To get perfectly cooked eggs, cook them over medium-low heat until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Layer it Up: When assembling your huevos rancheros, layer the ingredients in the following order: tortilla, refried beans, eggs, sauce, cheese, and avocado. This will ensure that each bite is flavorful and satisfying.
- Add Your Favorite Toppings: Top your huevos rancheros with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, cilantro, or guacamole. This will add extra flavor and texture to the dish.
Conclusion:
Huevos rancheros is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its combination of savory flavors and textures, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. And remember, don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and toppings to create your own unique version of this classic Mexican dish. ¡Buen provecho!
