Huevos Rancheros
with curtido / jicama sticks
We love this Mexican breakfast as a fresh, fun dinner. Baked tortillas provide crunch, refried beans make a hearty base, and curtido adds a tangy fresh element.

Make
- Arrange top rack of the oven so it’s 6” / 15 cm from the broiler. Turn on broiler (use the low setting if available).
- While broiler is heating, season jicama sticks with lime juice, chili powder, and sugar. Set aside.
- Empty refried beans into a microwave-safe container. Heat according to instructions on can. Set aside, covered to keep warm.
- Place tortillas in a single layer on a sheet pan (you might have to separate into 2 batches). Brush both sides of tortillas with the first portion of oil (for huevos rancheros). Broil for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they crisp up. Transfer tortillas onto plates (2 / serving).
- Heat a nonstick pan with second portion of oil (for huevos rancheros) over medium heat. Crack eggs into heated oil (you may have to work in batches) and cook until the whites are set. If you like your eggs less runny, cover the pan with a lid and cook until eggs are at the consistency you want.
- Transfer eggs to tortillas.
- Toss curtido and season with some salt and pepper.
- Top tortillas and eggs with refried beans, curtido, salsa, and sour cream. Enjoy crunchy jicama sticks on the side.
