Huevos Rancheros

01Method

1. 1

   Prepare all ingredients before starting.

2. 2

   Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas two at a time until just firm but still pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

3. 3

   Lower the heat to medium, adding a splash more oil if the pan looks dry. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and cook until the edges turn opaque, about 1 minute. Cover the pan, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until the whites are fully set, about 4 minutes.

4. 4

   While the eggs finish cooking, place the refried beans and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and heat in 1-minute bursts on high until thoroughly warmed through.

5. 5

   Set the tortillas on serving plates and spread an even layer of the hot beans over each one.

6. 6

   Finish each plate with cheddar cheese, a fried egg, crumbled bacon, and a spoonful of salsa.
