Tortilla Base

Red Beans & Rice

Poached Eggs

Hollandaise Sauce

Chipotle Lime Sauce

Method

Tortilla Base

  1. 1

    Fry Tortillas

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry corn tortillas until crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Red Beans & Rice

  1. 2

    Cook Beans and Rice

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cooked red beans, cooked rice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.

Poached Eggs

  1. 3

    Poach Eggs

    In a pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar. Crack eggs into individual bowls and gently slide them into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare Hollandaise

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice until thick. Place over a pot of simmering water, and slowly drizzle in melted butter, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt.

Chipotle Lime Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix Chipotle Lime Sauce

    In a bowl, combine chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, and sour cream. Mix well until smooth.

Pico de Gallo

  1. 6

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble Ranchero Benny

    On each crispy tortilla, layer the red beans and rice mixture, followed by a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and chipotle lime sauce. Top with pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
