One 15-ounce can refried beans
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 (8 ounce) pre-cooked ham steak, diced
½ cup diced yellow onion
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers
cooking spray
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 ¾ cups pico de gallo
6 large eggs
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry tortillas, one at a time, until golden and lightly crisp, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

  • Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in the skillet. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent. Add beans and green chiles; cook, stirring and partially mashing, for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish liberally with cooking spray. Place tortillas in a single layer on the bottom. Sprinkle ham and cheese over the tortillas. Top evenly with the black bean mixture and pico de gallo. Form 6 shallow wells in the pico layer; crack an egg into each well.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until egg whites are just set and yolks are runny, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top with avocado and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados will be easier to mash and will have a creamier texture.
  • Season the avocado mixture well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and lime juice to the avocado mixture. This will help to brighten the flavors and make the dish more flavorful.
  • Use a good quality salsa: The salsa is a key component of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a salsa that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Huevos rancheros is best served immediately after it is made. This will ensure that the eggs are still hot and the avocado mixture is still fresh.

Conclusion:

Huevos rancheros is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is a great way to use up leftover tortillas and salsa, and it is also a good source of protein and vegetables. This vegetarian version of huevos rancheros is just as delicious as the traditional version, and it is a great option for those who are looking for a meatless meal.
