The Gourmet Mama

Here in Guatemala, we have a restaurant called Pollo Campero which is like a fast food restaurant that serves fried chicken. I’m not big on fried chicken, but their breakfasts are great! One of my favorites is the huevos rancheros dish, so I decided to replicate it at home. This is a very simple dish to make and it is far better than mere scrambled eggs!

If you’re looking for something that won’t take much longer than normal eggs, this is the recipe to try.

Simple Huevos Rancheros

Serves 4

8 eggs
8 corn tortillas
1 can black beans
1 onion
1 c. salsa

Fry the eggs like you normally would. Meanwhile, lay the tortillas on the plates, two per person (one is fine for kids).

In a frying pan, saute the onions until translucent. Add the black beans and heat through. Add a couple spoonfuls to each tortilla, top with an egg and then spoon salsa on top. Presto! A breakfast that’s tasty and relatively healthy!
