Huevos Rancheros

Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.

Prepare the refried beans: Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, 1 Tbsp avocado oil and salt and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until onions are soft and translucent. Add garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes. Add can of black beans and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Roughly mash with a potato masher to desired consistency. Remove from heat.

In an oven safe pan or baking dish prepare your Huevos rancheros: lightly spray with cooking spray or wipe down pan with oil. Layer corn tortillas and top with refried black beans and cheese. Make four depressions with the back of a spoon, then crack an egg into each depression.

Bake for 18-22 minutes, until egg whites are cooked but yolks are still runny.

Serve, topped with salsa and sliced avocado, along with other optional toppings if desired. Best served fresh.

Optional Toppings: Cilantro, jalapeños, lime wedges, hot sauce.

Substitutions: Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, cotija or feta or cheddar. Substitute pre-made refried beans if you’re in a rush! Swap navy, pinto or kidney beans for black beans. You can vary the spice level in the recipe by using either a mild, medium or hot salsa or adding jalapeños.
