Poached Huevos Rancheros is a Mexican-inspired breakfast dish that translates to 'ranch-style eggs'. The dish is traditionally made by frying tortillas and eggs, but this recipe takes a different approach by poaching eggs and topping them with a flavorful mixture of black beans, onion, garlic, and spices. The combination of the spicy bean mixture, creamy avocado, and poached eggs creates a delicious and healthy breakfast or brunch dish that will satisfy your cravings. You can also make this recipe your own by adding or swapping out ingredients, such as adding sliced jalapenos for added heat or using different types of beans.

Instructions

1.In a large pot, mix the water and chicken broth or vegetable broth. Add salt and bring it to a boil
2.Add apple cider vinegar to the pot and stir the water
3.Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently drop it into the pot. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Poach the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. This should take around 4 minutes
4.In a saucepan, fry onion and garlic on medium heat until they turn golden brown
5.Add black beans, cumin, red chili powder, salt and pepper and cook for 8 more minutes
6.Divide the shredded lettuce into four different plates and put 1/4 of the bean mixture on top of the lettuce
7.Top off each plate with one poached egg, 1/4 cup of salsa and diced avocado. Finish by sprinkling some chopped fresh cilantro on top
