Sheet Pan Huevos Rancheros Recipes

SHEET PAN HUEVOS RANCHEROS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss the tortilla triangles with the oil and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning in a large bowl. Evenly spread on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, tossing the chips halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the tomatoes, onions, 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves and stems, jalapeño, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning in a blender. Blend until very smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan, cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce deepens in color and the flavors meld, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Put the refried beans and 2 to 3 tablespoons water in another small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the toasted chips from the oven and dollop with the refried beans. Evenly pour the sauce over the chips. Make 8 small wells in the sauce and chip mixture throughout the baking sheet and crack the eggs into the wells. Bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the eggs are just set (the egg whites will be opaque and the yolks will still be runny), 10 to 12 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the cheese, avocado and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• For the ranchero sauce: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and put the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the vegetables, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred in spots, about 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the papery skins from the garlic.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the ancho chiles, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
• Put the vegetables and any juices from the baking sheet into a blender. Add the ancho chiles, 1/2 teaspoon each chopped chipotle and adobo sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt and blend until fairly smooth. Taste; if you want the sauce spicier, stir in the remaining chopped chipotle and adobo sauce.
• Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sauce (it will sizzle) and 1/3 cup water and cook, stirring, until thickened but pourable, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt as necessary. Cover and keep warm over low heat. If the sauce thickens too much, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out.
• For the refried beans: Put the beans in a medium bowl with about half of their reserved liquid and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add the mashed beans and a big pinch of salt and mash again until smooth. Cook, stirring and scraping with a rubber spatula, until heated through. If the beans seem dry, add some more of the reserved liquid until they are creamy. Taste, season with salt if necessary and cover and keep warm over low heat.
• For serving: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 tortilla and cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Flip the tortilla with tongs and continue to cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Remove from the pan to the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 7 tortillas, adding more oil if necessary. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the refried beans on each tortilla and keep warm in the oven.
• Using the same skillet the tortillas were fried in, heat 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering, about 1 minute. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and cook until the edges are crispy and whites are almost set. Cover the skillet with a big pot lid and cook until the whites are completely set, 1 more minute. Remove the tortillas from the oven, top four with an egg, then return to the oven and repeat with the 4 remaining eggs.
• Top the remaining tortillas with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle each with a pinch of salt, some ranchero sauce, Cotija cheese, cilantro and onion. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium pot over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add onion and jalapeño, season with salt and pepper, and saute, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add refried beans, salsa, and chicken broth or water. Season to taste with salt and cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring to combine.
• Brush tortillas with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt, and place on prepared sheet pan. Transfer to oven and bake, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crisp, about 7-8 minutes. Reduce oven to 350 degrees.
• Divide black bean mixture among tortillas. Using the back of a spoon, spread mixture to the edges of tortillas and create a well in the center. Carefully crack eggs into well, season with salt and pepper, and top with cheese and scallions. Transfer to oven and bake until yolks are runny and whites are just barely set, about 14 minutes.
• Transfer tortillas to serving plates and serve immediately, garnished with additional salsa, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and limes.
