Ingredients
– 8 oz tortilla chips
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup refried beans (canned or homemade)
– 1 cup salsa (preferably spicy)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack works best)
– ½ avocado, diced (optional)
– ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
– ¼ cup sour cream (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil (for cooking eggs)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your very own Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Nachos:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm the chips.
2. Prepare Tortilla Chips: Spread tortilla chips on a large baking sheet in an even layer.
3. Add Refried Beans: If using canned beans, heat them on the stove or in the microwave. Spread them over the chips, ensuring even coverage.
4. Layer Salsa: Pour the salsa generously over the bean-covered chips.
5. Sprinkle Cheese: Add shredded cheese on top of the salsa, covering the nachos as evenly as possible.
6. Bake Nachos: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Cook the Eggs: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are firm, and yolks are still runny (or as preferred).
8. Remove Nachos from Oven: Once the cheese has melted, take the nachos out and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
9. Top with Eggs: Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the nachos, placing them evenly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Add diced avocado, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream for garnish.
