Huevos Rancheros

This dish is my American variation of a Mexican breakfast dish, huevos rancheros. Who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner, right? Instead of buying tortillas, I choose to make my own—you won’t believe how simple the process is. I don’t think I can ever go back to store-bought flour tortillas.

Instructions

In a sauté pan, over medium heat, warm black beans, onions, peppers, jalapeños, and cumin for approximately 5 minutes. Place one warm Homemade Flour Tortilla on each of four dinner plates.

Pile on the tomatoes, avocadoes, cilantro, lime juice, and sour cream.
Goes with: Homemade Flour Tortillas. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in 1 ½ cups water and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Knead the dough until smooth. Divide into 16 portions. Using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll each ball into a 7-inch circle. In a nonstick pan coated with cooking spray, cook each tortilla over medium heat for 1 minute on each side. Cover to keep warm.
