Ingredients

• 4 pieces whole-grain tortillas
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup black beans (low sodium, rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup small red onion, finely diced
• 1 piece jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
• 1 piece lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the whole-grain tortillas on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed and slightly creamy. Mash lightly with the back of a fork, leaving some beans whole.

Step 4

To prepare the fresh salsa, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and lime juice in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Step 5

Line four small ramekins or oven-safe bowls with a light coating of non-stick spray or olive oil. Crack one egg into each ramekin and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.

Step 6

Assemble the Huevos Rancheros by spreading a scoop of the black bean mixture onto each warm tortilla. Carefully place one baked egg on top of each tortilla.

Step 7

Spoon the fresh salsa over the eggs, then garnish with sliced avocado and additional cilantro as desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a lime wedge on the side, and enjoy your healthier Huevos Rancheros!
