My father and his two sisters were raised in Gallup, New Mexico in the 1930s and early 40s. My grandfather was principal of the high school. So, it is no surprise that I was also raised with Mexican food. Either on our boat or at home, Dave and I like having huevos rancheros. Traditionally it is served for breakfast. But I like it any time of the day. The meaning is Spanish for ranch eggs. And apparently it is also popular dish Mexican farmers have later in the morning.
Remove beans from can into a microwave safe dish and cover. Microwave 1 minute and stir. Microwave another minute and set aside. Set oven to warm temperature… about 160 degrees F. Place a paper towel on a plate. In a pan, heat a few tablespoons oil on medium heat. Take each of the tortillas and warm them a couple minutes on each side. Add more oil, a tablespoon or two, as needed. Place on the paper towel lined plate with a little separation for each tortilla. When all tortillas are warmed, set in the warm oven. Cook the eggs however you like. They can be scrambled, over easy, or sunny side up. Then it’s time to assemble. Lay two tortillas on each plate. Spread a nice spoonful of beans on each tortilla. Then a scoop of sour cream, cheese, and egg. Depending on what type of salsa you like… finish off with that topping. Serve with fruit. Serves 4 and it’s that easy!
