Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Huevos Rancheros
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine your choice of homemade or store-bought salsa with lime juice. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate skillet, add 1/3 cup of the warmed salsa along with the canned black beans, a splash of water, salt, and pepper. Heat the mixture on medium-low for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a cast iron skillet and heat over medium heat. Add each corn tortilla, cooking for about 20 seconds per side until they are golden and pliable.
- In the same skillet used for the salsa, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs gently into the skillet and fry for approximately 2 ½ minutes.
- Start by spreading a generous layer of the creamy refried beans on each warm tortilla. Follow this with a carefully placed fried egg on top and a generous drizzle of your thickened salsa.
- Plate your assembled Huevos Rancheros immediately to enjoy them at their best. Serve hot alongside a refreshing fruit salad or your favorite beverage.

Notes
Feel free to substitute the black beans with pinto beans, and switch up the eggs to scrambled if that’s your preference.
