Easy Farmers Market Huevos Rancheros
Now I know you may be thinking this does not look like the traditional huevos rancheros you’ve had in the past. This one is, dare I say… better. I’ve swapped the spicy cooked ranchero sauce with fresh salsa (hence, the Easy in the name) and bulked up the recipe with vegetables and black beans (hence the Farmers Market). Though this would be perfect for a healthy brunch, I served it for dinner on a busy night. It was a great way to use up some of our farmers market veggies in one inexpensive, healthy, easy and complete meal. We’re big fans of brinner aka breakfast-for-dinner around here anyway.
As it’s winter right now I used sweet potato and kale for the veggies. In the summer zucchini, eggplant, and tomatoes would be delicious. Feel free to use the veggies you have.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much my kids loved this one. As it’s written this is very mild and kid-friendly. If you like more heat add 1 chopped jalapeno or a little chili powder to the vegetable mixture. Creamy avocado sprinkled with a tiny pinch of salt is a must.
Total time: about 30 minutes
Serves 4
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and diced
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
pinch freshly cracked pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup chopped kale
15 oz. cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 package small corn tortillas (be sure to choose gluten free if that’s what you desire)
4-8 large eggs (depending on if you like 1 or 2 eggs)
1 large avocado, sliced
1 cup fresh salsa (purchased or homemade)
1 lime, sliced
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sweet potato, cumin, salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato has softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and kale, and saute another 5 minutes until kale has wilted. Stir in beans and cilantro and saute until beans are heated through.
Heat another frying pan over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Crack eggs into the pan. Cook eggs until they have reached your desired doneness. I like the yolk just a little runny but don’t want you getting sick from undercooked eggs so cook them completely if you are concerned about salmonella. Season eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
Place 1-2 tortillas on each plate. Divide vegetable-bean mixture on top of tortillas. Place eggs on top of veggies. Serve with avocado, salsa, and lime.

i just found your blog from pinterest. I can't decide what I like more, the healthy yet delicious looking recipes or the BEAUTIFUL photography! I will definitely be following you for both!
Made these this morning for hubby and I and we both loved them. As always your photos are so beautiful
Gorgeous presentation! I was pleasantly surprised to find your photo next to mine on Daily Buzz's Top 9 today, your blog is terrific!
My daughter introduced me to your blog and I am so grateful to her and to you! This combines many of my favorites too. Question. Do you not toast the tortilla somehow? From your picture, I assumed you were going to oven roast, but you do not mention cooking it at all. Thanks!
Hi Cary! Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂
We like this best with the tortilla just warmed quickly in a saute pan or microwave. We tried some with baked tortillas and didn't like them as well, but if you do want your crunchy, you could toast them in the oven or frying pan.
I love that plate? Where did you find them?
Hi! I got it at Cost Plus World Market. Thanks!
