Finely chop half an onion and 1 clove of garlic. Wash 3 tomatoes and cut them in half. Remove the crown from the tomato and cut it into fairly small pieces, this does not have to be very precise.
Wash the green chillies and cut them into small pieces. You can choose to leave the seeds in, depending on how spicy you want the dish to be.
Drain the kidney beans in the sieve and wash them with water.
Heat a frying pan with a layer of sunflower oil (or another neutral oil) and wait until the oil is hot. You can test with a piece of kitchen paper whether the oil has become hot enough.
If the kitchen paper bubbles, then the oil is hot enough. Add a corn tortilla (1 at a time) to the pan of hot oil. Use tongs to turn the tortilla.
You only need to fry the tortilla for less than a minute on each side. Turn until both sides are cooked through and a nice colour.
Place the tortilla on a plate and repeat this step for the other tortilla. Turn off the heat and set the pan with oil to one side and let it cool completely.
Heat a small dash of sunflower oil in the second frying pan. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, then add the finely chopped green chillies, stir well with a wooden spoon.
Once the green chillies are cooked, add the tomato pieces. Lower the heat and let it simmer for a few minutes. Mash the tomato with a wooden spoon until it becomes a (simple) salsa.
Put the tomato salsa in a small bowl, wipe the pan clean with some kitchen paper. Add a small dash of sunflower oil to the frying pan and wait until it is hot.
Now crack 2 eggs into the hot oil and fry them for about a minute. Use the hot oil to quickly cook the egg yolk as well. You can do this by (carefully) basting the egg yolk with hot oil using a tablespoon.
Warm up the kidney beans in the oil leftover from frying the eggs. Fry them briefly and mash them slightly, it doesn't have to be a purée.
Place a corn tortilla on a plate and top with a fried egg along with the kidney beans and tomato salsa. Halve an avocado and cut the flesh into slices.
Add the avocado to the huevos rancheros and finish the dish with a little white cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy your dinner!
Can I replace the kidney beans?
Traditionally, huevos rancheros are eaten with black beans, you could use these instead. Brown beans can also be served with this dish.
Can I use a regular tortilla instead of a corn tortilla?
That is possible, but the tortilla will then become a lot harder. Corn tortillas generally stay a little softer and rise better during frying. Both are tasty!
