Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Pound Divine Flavor grape tomatoes
- 1 Whole jalapeno, seeded and sliced
- 1 Whole onion, sliced
- 1 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 Teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ Teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ Teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ Teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ Teaspoon cumin
- ¼ Teaspoon chili powder
- 1/3 Cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 Cup honey
- 1 Can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ Lime, juiced
- 12 small yellow corn tortillas
- 6 Whole eggs
- 2 Whole avocados, skin removed and sliced for serving
- Cilantro for garnish
- Queso Fresco for garnish
Instructions
For the jam:
- In a large, heavy bottomed pot or cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add tomatoes, sliced jalapeno, sliced onion, and cook until the tomatoes begin to blister, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions to a food processor or blender. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until chunky smooth.
- Add back to the pan and cook on a simmer for 20 minutes until thickened.
- Serve or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
For the Huevos Rancheros:
- Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add black beans and lime juice, and cook over medium heat until the beans are warmed through, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm but set aside.
- In a nonstick pan, drizzle in a teaspoon of olive oil, just enough to grease the pan. Warm tortillas over medium heat for 30 seconds and remove to a serving dish, layering two together per serving.
- Cook eggs sunny side up in the same pan with a drizzle of olive oil, about 3 minutes.
- To assemble, stack the tortillas, two per serving, and top with black beans, tomato jam, cooked eggs, and garnish with sliced avocado, cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco.
