Black Bean Huevos Rancheros Recipes

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Combine beans, tomatoes, onions, 3 Tbsp. dressing and cumin in medium cast iron skillet sprayed with cooking spray; place on grill grate.
• Cook 12 min. or until most of the tomato juices are cooked off, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, whisk eggs with 1/4 cup cilantro and remaining dressing until blended. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Pour egg mixture over bean mixture in skillet; cover with foil. Cook 10 min. or until eggs are set. Top with cheese; cook 2 min. or until melted, adding tortillas to the grill for the last minute to warm.
• Sprinkle eggs with remaining cilantro. Serve with tortillas.

Steps:

• To make the salsa, stir the tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, 1 clove minced garlic, and salt to taste, together in a bowl until well blended. Cover, and refrigerate until needed.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Place 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet, and heat over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook 1 minute until light brown. Mix in the black beans, chicken broth, and chiles; simmer until beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat, and keep warm.
• Place four tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tortillas. Top with the remaining four tortillas. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Bake tortillas in preheated oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
• Place the remaining 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet, and heat over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet, and cook to desired firmness.
• To assemble huevos rancheros, place filled tortillas on four serving plates. Top each tortilla with black bean mixture, a layer of salsa, and an egg. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the beans: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the cumin, cayenne, oregano, orange, beans with their juices and the water. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the salsa: Add the tomatoes, onions, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, lime juice and oil into the bowl of a food processor. Season with salt and pulse until finely chopped and saucy. Season to taste and set aside. (If your tomatoes weren't the sweetest, feel free to pour the salsa into a skillet or saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce slightly and sweeten up.)
• For the garnish: If using a gas stove or if you have access to a grill, turn on the heat and quickly heat the corn tortillas directly over the flame until lightly charred and set aside. You can also heat the tortillas in a pan over medium heat.
• Heat some oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and fry until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Season with salt.
• To serve, place the tortillas onto plates and top each with black beans and a fried egg. Spoon the salsa overtop and garnish with toppings of your choice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the Salsa: In a small bowl mix together, tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, garlic, juice, olive oil, hot sauce, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the Black Bean Puree: In a food processer, blend all ingredients together until smooth.
• To assemble: Stack tortillas on a cutting board. Using the bottom of the ramekin as a guide, cut 8 circles out of the tortillas. Spread the bean puree evenly on 1 side of each tortilla round. Place a round in each ramekin, bean side up. Crack 2 eggs into each of the 4 ramekins, followed by 1/4 cup of salsa, and 1 tablespoon each of Cheddar and jack. Cover with another tortilla round, bean side down. Do not jam the dishes with too much. The eggs will expand during cooking and overflow. Brush tops of each tortilla with butter and bake on a sheet tray for 35 minutes. Top with remaining cheese during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Cheese should be melted and golden on top. To serve, top with sour cream and salsa.

Steps:

• Stir first 4 ingredients in bowl to blend. Season salsa with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Arrange tortillas in single layer on sheet. Bake until tortillas are golden, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin; stir 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes with juice, beans, and chiles; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet; fry until whites are just set but yolks are still soft, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place 1 warm tortilla on each of 4 plates. Divide bean mixture among tortillas. Top each with 1 egg; sprinkle with cheese and lettuce. Top with salsa; serve.
• *Chipotle chiles canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, jalapeño, 2 teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon of the garlic, and mix well. Transfer 1½ cups of the fresh salsa to a bowl and set aside.
• Cook the remaining salsa over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes soften and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Transfer the ranchero sauce to a bowl and cover to keep warm (you should have about 2 cups).
• In the same saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add the remaining ¼ teaspoon garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the beans (and their liquid), cumin, smoked paprika and ½ cup of the reserved fresh salsa, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and mashing with the back of a spoon or potato masher, until the mixture is smooth and thick, about 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste and remove from heat.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium. Crack in 4 of the eggs and cook undisturbed until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and repeat with the remaining oil and eggs.
• Meanwhile, stir the cilantro into the remaining 1 cup reserved salsa. Divide the tortillas across 4 plates (2 per plate). Spread refried black beans on the tortillas and top each with an egg. Cover the eggs with ranchero sauce. Divide avocado on the plates and garnish with some of the fresh salsa, queso fresco and cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut off the outer edge of each tortilla and remove so that the tortillas fit snugly into the muffin tin cup. Brush both sides of the tortillas lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with salt. Press the tortillas into the muffin tin, creating little tortilla cups.
• In a small bowl, mix half the salsa with the black beans with salt and pepper. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the black bean mixture into each tortilla cup. Crack an egg into each of the eight cups. Bake until barely set, about 8 minutes. Top with cheese, cover with aluminum foil, and then bake for 6-7 minutes more. To serve, spoon the sour cream and remaining salsa on top of the eggs.
