How to Make Poached Huevos Rancheros

  1. Bring 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to a gentle simmer in a shallow pan (about 8 inches in diameter).
  2. Ensure there's enough simmering water to fully cover the eggs.
  3. In a separate stainless steel skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable broth over medium heat.
  4. Sauté 1/2 medium yellow onion in the broth for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until translucent.
  5. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 cup of vegetable broth to the skillet. (Begin this step while the egg water is coming to a simmer).
  6. Cook the beans for about 10 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste.
  8. Gently crack 2 large eggs, one at a time, directly into the simmering water. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
  9. Carefully remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon. Briefly rest the eggs on a paper towel to absorb excess water before placing atop the beans.
  10. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite salsa, shredded romaine lettuce, and sliced avocado.
