How to Make Huevos Rancheros

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange tortillas on a baking sheet and warm in the oven, about 5 minutes. (Cover with foil for softer tortillas.)

  3. Step 3

    In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onion and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and cumin and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, or until bell pepper is softened. Add the beans and heat until beans are heated through. Transfer bean mixture to a bowl. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Lightly coat skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Break each egg into skillet and fry until just set, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the tortillas from the oven. Keep tortillas on baking sheet. Spoon some bean mixture onto each tortilla, then top each with 1 egg and 1 tablespoon cheese. Return to oven and bake until the cheese has melted, about 6 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Top each egg with 1 tablespoon salsa, minced jalapeño and cilantro. Serve immediately.
