Huevos Rancheros is a popular Mexican breakfast, made up of corn tortillas and fried eggs topped with beans, salsa, avocado, etc. This is a great vegetarian friendly breakfast packed with flavor & fiber.
Huevos Rancheros are typically made with refried beans, but I have created a lightened up version with black beans, onion, and the perfect blend of seasonings that tastes even better! I love creating healthier versions of popular favorite dishes.

What You Will Need
For The Beans
- 15 ounces black beans (draines)
- 2 tsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- ¼ medium white onion (diced)
- 1 tsp cumin (ground)
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp water (or as needed)
- For The Rest
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- 6 corn tortillas
For The Rest
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- 6 corn tortillas
Optional Toppings
- Salsa
- Pico De Gallo
- Avocado
- Shredded cheese of choice
- Cilantro
- Hot Sauce
- Feta Cheese
How To Make It
For The Beans
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm up the olive oil. Add the onions and salt. Sauté until the onions have softened and are fragrant.
- Add the cumin and cook until fully incorporated. Pour in the drained black beans and use a potato masher or the a fork to mash up the beans. Continue to cook the beans, uncovered, stirring often, for 2 to 3 additional minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add the salt, pepper and lime juice. If the beans seem dry, add a very small splash of water and stir to combine. Cover until you’re ready to serve.
For The Assembly
- On a griddle or large skillet, warm each tortilla individually, flipping as needed. Spread the black bean mixture over each tortilla and place each tortilla aside.
- Fry the eggs on the same griddle over medium heat by heating up about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil per egg. Carefully crack each egg onto the griddle without breaking the yolk. Cook until your preferred level of doneness. Place the fried eggs on top of the prepared tortillas.
- Top with your desired toppings/garnishes. I topped mine with avocado, pico de gallo, salsa, and feta cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
How To Store Leftovers
Store leftovers in an air tight container in your fridge for at least 5 days. The only thing I prefer to do is gook a fried egg and eat that fresh. Everything else (the beans, toppings, & tortillas) will stay fresh in the fridge for a good amount of time.
