My husband and I are on high protein diets- he’s better at it than I am…! (Hi, my name is Deanna, and I’m a chocoholic.)
But this has become one of our favorite quick breakfasts. It’s not true huevos rancheros, because there is no tortilla, and because neither of us are great fans of ranchero salsa.
Basically this is black beans, sprinkled with shredded cheese, topped with 2 fried eggs and more shredded cheese, with salsa (whatever variety we have on hand) as the crowning glory.
It’s quick, delicious, filling and high protein!

Sounds tasty! Varying the salsa changes it up, too, so it’s not totally repetative.

Thanks!
You could use different beans, too, but we favor the black beans. You could also add green chilis and/ or olives if you wanted to really get crazy.

It looks delicous! I don’t really know this dish but I’m going to look it up, it looks like something I would enjoy!

Awesome! I hope you try it and enjoy.
My husband lived in Mexico for a couple years and he ate the authentic version a fair bit. Our salsa choices are not as spicy and we avoid the tortillas that are a staple at pretty much every meal in Mexico.
