Red Bean Huevos Rancheros

user-submission — Sat, 19 Sep 2020 13:19:12 +0000

Ingredients:

Creole Pico De Gallo
Refried Red Beans
3/4 cup red salsa, homemade or jarred
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided (or avocado, grapeseed, or vegetable oil)
2 eggs
2 corn tortillas
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Make Creole Pico de Gallo and Refried Red Beans. Set aside for later.
Warm salsa in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and reduce heat to low. (Or, heat salsa in microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until warmed throughout.)
In a small skillet over medium heat, warm tortillas individually, flipping as necessary. Spread refried red beans mixture over tortillas, and put on individual plates. If using cheese, sprinkle over tortillas. Set aside.
To the same skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon canola oil and warm till shimmering. Crack an egg into the skillet without breaking the yolk. Fry the egg, lifting and tilting the pan occasionally to redistribute the oil, until the whites are set, and the yolk is cooked to your taste. Place fried egg on top of prepared tortilla, and repeat with the remaining egg and tortilla.
Spoon warmed salsa over eggs, avoiding the yolks. Use a slotted spoon or fork to do the same with the Pico de Gallo.
Add freshly ground black pepper and your choice of additional garnishes.
Serve immediately.

4 cups cooked Camellia Frijoles de Olla
12-16 corn tortillas
2 pounds chicken breast cooked and shredded

4. Place rolls into an oven-safe baking dish in a row and top with the rest of the pureed beans. Drizzle with sour cream and top with queso fresco. Serve two to four per order.

Make a red or green Mexican hot sauce to go along with the cheese and sour cream, garnish with fresh cilantro. Add chilled frijoles de olla to any salad as a garnish.

2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Creole or Cajun seasoning to taste
1 small, store-bought, smoked or regular rotisserie chicken, shredded, (skin and bones discarded or reserved for another use)
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce (spicy or mild)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese or Cheddar-Monterey Jack blend

Spray a 9-x-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Place 5 tortillas on the bottom, breaking them up and overlapping as necessary to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Spread 1/3 of the chicken-bean mixture over tortillas. Top with 1/3 of sour cream mixture, dropping it in small dollops all over, then carefully spreading it over the chicken-bean mixture with a spatula. Repeat the tortillas/chicken-bean mixture/sour cream mixture layers two more times (for 3 total layers).

Cover casserole with foil, and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove foil, top with shredded cheese, and bake for 10 more minutes, uncovered.

Huevos Rancheros

Aimee Bussells — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:35:31 +0000

Ingredients:

Salsa

1 1/2 cups finely chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 fresh jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt to taste

Huevos Rancheros

1 teaspoon canola or olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cooked Camellia Brand Black Beans
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
8 (7-inch) corn tortillas
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 teaspoon canola or olive oil
4 large eggs
Chopped green onions for garnish
Sliced avocado for garnish

Directions:

Salsa

Combine 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.

Huevos Rancheros

Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until light brown.
Add the black beans, chicken broth, and chiles; simmer until mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat, cover and keep warm.
Place four tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, and top with the remaining tortillas.
Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bake tortillas in oven about 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
Add oil to skillet, and heat over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet, and fry to desired firmness. If the pan is hot enough, the whites should set, keeping the yolks centered, for a nice presentation. If the edges of the whites start to curl before the center is fully cooked, cover the pan for a minute or two.
When eggs are cooked, assemble the huevos rancheros. Place filled tortillas on four plates, and top each tortilla with black bean mixture, a layer of salsa, and an egg. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions and avocado slices. Serve immediately.
