Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 piece Jalapeño, minced (optional)
• 14 ounces Tomatoes, crushed (canned or fresh)
• 15 ounces Black beans, cooked and drained
• 6 pieces Corn tortillas
• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 piece Avocado, sliced (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and jalapeño (if using) and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, black beans, salt, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Cut the corn tortillas into halves or quarters to fit the layers in the dish.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the tomato-bean sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish. Add a layer of tortillas, followed by another layer of sauce, then sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese. Repeat this layering process until all the ingredients are used, ending with the sauce and cheese on top.

Step 6

Use a spoon to create six small wells in the casserole. Crack one egg into each well, ensuring the yolks remain intact.

Step 7

Carefully place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (cook longer if you prefer fully set yolks).

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced avocado.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Huevos Rancheros Casserole!
