Step-by-Step Instructions for Huevos Rancheros
  1. Prepare the Salsa: In a saucepan over medium heat, simmer your preferred salsa for about 10 minutes to deepen the flavors, stirring occasionally.
  2. Season the Beans: In a skillet, combine your drained black beans with reserved salsa, adding a pinch of salt and pepper for taste. Heat for about 5 minutes.
  3. Heat the Tortillas: Using a cast-iron skillet, heat over medium-high heat with olive oil. Warm each corn tortilla for about 20 seconds on each side.
  4. Cook the Eggs: In a non-stick skillet, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, cooking until whites are set and yolks are runny.
  5. Assemble and Serve: On each warm tortilla, spread a layer of beans, place a fried egg, add salsa, sliced avocado, Cotija cheese, and lime juice. Serve immediately.
