Best Recipe for Mexican-Style Beans and Eggs

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 small yellow onion
  • 2 small cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo
  • 4 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
  • Two 14-ounce cans of pinto or black beans, with liquid
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Lime juice, to taste
  • Lime wedges
  • Cotija, crumbled
  • Avocado, peeled and sliced
  • Cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • Jalapeno, finely chopped
  • White onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a blender, finely puree the tomatoes, stock, onion, garlic, chile and cumin until smooth.
  2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan set over medium-high heat. Once hot, pour contents of the blender into the pan and season lightly with salt. Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Stir the beans and their liquid into sauce. Cook until the sauce simmers and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  3. Crack the eggs into pan, leaving enough space between each egg so they do not touch the sides of the pan or each other. Reduce the heat to medium-low, so the sauce barely simmers, and cover pan. Continue to gently cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 4 more minutes. Serve with the garnishes of your choosing.
