instructions
    1

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the black beans and let them heat through for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    2

    While the beans are heating, dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño. In a skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    3

    Add the diced tomatoes and jalapeño to the skillet. Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the tomatoes break down and release their juices, creating a delicious salsa. Set aside.

    4

    In another skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat and fry the tortillas on each side until they are slightly crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.

    5

    In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side up for about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    6

    To assemble, place a tortilla on a plate, add a generous spoonful of black beans, top with a fried egg, and spoon the salsa over the top. Add chopped cilantro and sliced avocado as garnish.

    Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Huevos Rancheros!
