Description
Hearty huevos rancheros breakfast bowls featuring smoky sweet potato–black bean hash, crispy tortillas, fried eggs, creamy avocado, and fresh salsa. A vibrant, satisfying twist on a classic Mexican-inspired breakfast.
Ingredients
6 Tbsp neutral oil, divided
2 lb unpeeled sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2–3/4” pieces
3 Tbsp water
3/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15.5-oz) can black beans
3 Tbsp adobo sauce (from chipotle chile can)
4 (5 1/2″) corn tortillas
4 tsp grated cotija, plus more for serving
4 large eggs
2 avocados, sliced
1/4 cup salsa verde or salsa roja
Fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Heat 3 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sweet potatoes, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Reduce heat, add water and 1/2 tsp salt, cover, and cook 2–3 minutes until tender. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, cook onion and garlic over medium heat until softened, about 7 minutes. Add oil if needed. Return potatoes to the skillet.
- Mash half the black beans in a bowl. Add all beans and adobo sauce to skillet. Stir and heat through. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- In a separate skillet, heat 2 Tbsp oil over medium heat. Fry tortillas two at a time until golden and edges curl, 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with cotija.
- Heat remaining 1 Tbsp oil in the skillet and fry eggs until whites set. Season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt.
- Assemble bowls by dividing the sweet potato–bean hash. Top each with a fried egg, sliced avocado, salsa, cilantro, and extra cotija. Serve with fried tortillas.
Notes
Swap sweet potatoes for regular potatoes or roasted squash.
Use pinto beans instead of black beans.
Add sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms.
Top with pickled onions or jalapeños for brightness.
Use queso fresco instead of cotija.
Alternate between salsa verde and salsa roja.
