If you're a fan of breakfast for dinner, this is 100% the meal for you! Get ready for our spin on the classic Mexican breakfast of warm tortillas loaded with creamy refried black beans, topped with savory tomato sauce and eggs fried just the way you like them. Dollop it all with guacamole, drizzle with tangy lime crema, then sprinkle with a blend of Mexican cheeses and crisp scallion greens (and hey, you might just want it for breakfast, too!)

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Bring 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • Zest and quarter lime. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Make Crema
2

• In a small bowl, combine sour cream, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of lime zest. • Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Make Tomato Sauce
3

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic, scallion whites, and Mexican Spice Blend; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add crushed tomatoes and ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings); cook, stirring, until mixture is mostly smooth, 2-3 minutes. Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4); simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Cook Eggs
4

• While sauce simmers, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Once hot, crack eggs* into pan and cover. (For 4 servings, you may want to cook eggs in batches.) Fry eggs to preference. Season with salt and pepper.

Warm Tortillas & Beans
5

• Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • Place half the refried beans (all for 4 servings) and softened butter in a second small microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until beans are warmed through and butter is mostly melted, 45-60 seconds. • Stir in a squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble & Serve
6

• Divide tortillas between plates. Spread each tortilla evenly with refried beans and top with tomato sauce and eggs. • Dollop with guacamole and drizzle with crema. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend and scallion greens. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

Another ten star meal! Made some changes to the menu as we don't use large dinner plates. Stacked the tortillas with one layer tortilla, one layer beans, another tortilla, tomato sauce and eggs and cheese, and finally the guacamole and lime cream. One tortilla for sopping up the extra bits. Presentation was beautiful and the flavor was outstanding! Want more recipes like this one.

This was really good. I usually fry eggs for this recipe. Really liked poaching them in sauce. Great flavor in this dish!

I had this at home a lot and never learned to cook it myself, thank you for adding this to the menu! I would recommend changing the black beans to refried for a more family-friendly palette. I've usually only seen this made with refried at restaurants and back home.

Was very good. I did the eggs over easy as I don't care for sunny side up. Also no one here can stand black beans so I swapped a can of regular refried beans.

This was proportionately great! Lots of good food and we did it for breakfast over the holiday, saved so much time and effort, we loved it.

The red sauce came out runny even though I tried to cook it extra to thicken. It never really thickened. I liked the tip to baste the eggs. Overall very good but would prefer thicker sauce.

It's difficult to make this meal when you don't own a can-opener for the beans. Also, having the crushed tomatoes instead of a salsa or Pico de Gallo made this taste more like spaghetti than huevos rancheros. Please sub in Pico next time!

It didn't have us cook the tortillas, and I've never had this meal without the tortillas being fried. We fried them and it was great. I would suggest adding that to the directions
