A quick and delicious recipe for crispy cheese huevos rancheros, featuring corn tortillas, refried beans, crispy cheese-fried eggs, salsa, and cilantro. Includes a vegan modification.
1. Heat the refried beans in the microwave or on the stove and set aside.
2. Preheat a large nonstick pan over medium heat; add some oil and the tortillas and toast for 15-30 seconds per side until warm, then spread with a layer of beans.
3. Spray or coat the pan with more oil and make two rings of cheese; crack an egg in the middle of each ring.
4. Season with salt and pepper and then add 1 Tbsp water to the pan and close the lid; cook for ~1 minute (or until the top of the egg starts to look opaque); remove the lid and cook off the excess moisture for 1-2 more minutes (until cheese is crisped and egg is cooked to your liking).
5. Serve eggs on the tortillas and garnish with salsa and cilantro on top - enjoy!
