Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally and cook until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  3. 3

    Warm the Corn Tortillas

    In another skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn tortillas one at a time, warming each for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Motuleños

    On each warmed tortilla, spread a layer of black beans. Top with a fried egg, followed by a generous spoonful of ranchero sauce. Add slices of avocado and sprinkle crumbled cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Motuleños immediately while warm. Enjoy with additional ranchero sauce on the side if desired.
