Avocado Huevos Rancheros
Ingredients for Avocado Huevos Rancheros:
Olive oil - 1 bsp.
Eggs - 10
Ripe Avocados - 2 (sliced)
Chorizo sausage - 15 oz.
Black beans - 15 oz.
Queso fresco - 1/2 cup (crumbled)
Heavy cream - 1/2 cup
Red bell pepper - 1/2 (chopped)
Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp.
Cilantro - a handful (chopped)
Ingredients for sauce:
Olive oil - 2 tbsp.
Onions - 2 small (finely chopped)
Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
Jarred roasted red pepper - 1 (12-oz) jar (drained)
Tomato sauce - 1 (15-oz) can
Canned green chili - 1 (4.5-oz) jar
Chicken stock - 1 cup
Ground cumin - 1 tbsp.
Brown sugar - 1 tbsp.
Heavy cream - 1/2 cup
Method of preparing the Avocado Huevos Rancheros:
  1. For the sauce, sauté the onions in the oil 2-3 minutes, and add the garlic for another 1 minute. Add the rest of the ingredients except the cream, simmer for 10 minutes and remove from heat. Puree in a blender and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the chorizo over medium-high heat, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spatula. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
  3. On the same skillet heat the tortillas for 3-5 seconds on each side, one at a time. Add more oil if needed. When the tortillas are golden and slightly puffed up, transfer them to paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Now fry the egg in the same skillet. Traditionally, Huevos Rancheros are served with sunny-side-up eggs. Set aside.
  5. Place 2 tortillas per plate. Top each tortilla with a spoon of black beans, one egg, a spoonful of chorizo, plenty of ranchero sauce, sliced peppers and avocado, a sprinkling of queso fresco, and a dash of chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Enjoy fresh!
Chef's Tip:
You can warm up the beans instead of using fresh from the can.
