Method

Prepare the Ranchero Sauce

  1. 1

    Heat the Oil

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Peppers

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and diced bell pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add chopped cilantro, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Eggs

  1. 5

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Fry the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Assemble the Dish

    Plate the Rice and Beans

    On a plate, serve a portion of cooked rice and a scoop of cooked beans.
