This was a really quick lunch we had recently on a day off from school. I know Huevos Rancheros are supposed to be a breakfast dish, but, I made them for lunch and it worked out. I also think that Huevos Rancheros traditionally calls for fried eggs, but I am not an expert, so I don't know for sure. I am not calling this an authentic dish, so feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I am just using the recipe title that was in the magazine. I served them at the wrong time of day and made them untraditionally, but they were still good.
This is a quick meal and it starts out with a really fast blender salsa. You cook everything in the same pan, so there aren't alot of dishes to worry about.
I added some cumin and chili powder to the black beans, just so we could have a tad bit more flavor.
This recipe was really fast and I could see it fitting easily into our favorite meals.
I like eggs and beans. They are pretty basic and this is a fun way to get them into your diet. So, if you have a few minutes, try serving these for breakfast, or lunch, or really, whenever you want.

Yeah, traditional huevos rancheros uses a fried egg, and a red sauce (like enchilada sauce)and I think the tortilla may be briefly fried in oil.
