Directions
Gourmet Huevos Rancheros, Eggs paired with zesty salsa and warm corn tortillas create a hearty breakfast, brunch or dinner entre. Refried beans, avocado, cilantro, green onion and sour cream make up the CIA’s interpretation of this dish. To complement the heat of this spicy combination, serve with a side of chilled sliced fruit. The following recipe suggests fried eggs, although you can prepare them scrambled or poached. The rich and creamy texture of the avocado supplies a flawless garnish. This recipe is from The Culinary Institute of America’s Cooking at Home with the CIA., Used refried black beans, and we loved it!, Really good!!! But no way can you put 2 fried eggs on a 6″ tortilla. I think the photos show people used larger tortillas. I made one 6″ tortilla per person and it plenty as a meal with fruit and sausage patties – very hardy. Great presentation.
