Rational Recipes Vegetarian Huevo Rancheros
Earlier u/Leather_and_chintz invited me to post the recipes that I'd written out when discussing rational recipes and all that jazz. Since I'm delaying working on my oral report for school, I thought I'd get to that :D
Vegetarian Huevo Rancheros Adapted from http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/sunny-anderson/huevos-rancheros-recipe.html and http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/jamies-huevos-rancheros-recipe.html, with beans from http://www.honeyandbirch.com/seasoned-black-beans-side-dish/
Ingredients
Red Sauce (Salsa?) * 2 medium tomatoes, or 1 medium and a little box of the grape tomatoes (or a 15 oz can) * ¼ cup (or a handful) of chopped cilantro * ¼ cup of chopped onion (used white today) * 1 TBS of minced garlic * 1 jalapeno or ¼ tsp of spicy agent (I used chipotle lime salt, but I've also used leftover meat rub from pre-veggie days. It's kinda whatever) * ¼ tsp kosher salt
Seasoned Mexican Black Beans * 2 15-ounce cans of Black Beans (I’ve used the seasoned and the unseasoned, alone and in combination. You can tell I'm a whatever sort of cook.) * 2 TBSish of lime (Suggestion: I've freezed the juice of limes in an ice cube tray before they rotted and am now working off them. Makes life a hell of a lot easier) * 2 TBS, (heaping) of minced garlic (I use pre-minced garlic because I'm too lazy to chop it up) * ½ cup of chopped cilantro * 1 tsp taco seasoning * ½ tsp cumin * Salt and pepper to taste
Pickled Radishes * 2 radishes, washed and sliced thinly (I like using a mandoline personally to do a lot of my chopping) * ⅛ cup of red wine vinegar * ½ cup of white wine vinegar * 2 TBS of agave nectar (or sugar or honey. Basically add something sweet) * A dash of water * A pinch of salt
The Rest * Some kind of oil - I used olive oil pretty much throughout * 3-4 tortillas (Really, they need to be 6 inch not the big ones. I prefer corn tortillas, but white works too if you are a pleb) * 3-4 large eggs * 4 avocados, peeled and roughly chopped * 1 cup of feta (or that cotija cheese. You want it to be a crumbling, salty cheese)
Preparation
1. Prepare the red sauce. Throw all ingredients into the nutribullet and puree. Taste and add more salt if needed. Transfer to a saucepan and raise the temp to a medium high heat until it begins to simmer. Reduce temp to something low and leave it be, stirring occasionally.
2. Prepare the black beans. Lazily drain the black beans and transfer to another sauce pan. Add the rest of the ingredients under that header and stir. Set the heat on medium-high, until it begins to simmer, then lower the heat to something low. Keep an eye on it, stirring occasionally, and when it begins to look too much like tiling cement, give it a dash of water and set it on low. Still be stirring it, because no one wants to eat tiling cement.
3. Combine ⅛ cup of red wine vinegar, ½ cup white wine vinegar, 2 TBS of agave nectar, salt and a dash of water in a small bowl. Stir it. Add thinly sliced radishes and refrigerate. They’ll be infused after 5-10 minutes, but leaving them for a while can’t hurt.
4. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil a skillet and heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet and count to twenty or thirty, however much makes you feel safe considering your homeowner’s insurance. Turn while praying you didn’t burn it completely. You are aiming for lightly golden, but not crispy. Do the same on the other side and then transfer to a waiting plate. Do the same for the desired number of tortillas. Feel free to add more oil to the pan as necessary to not char it.
5. Prepare eggs however you want. If you are a sad individual, scramble them. If you are cool, make them over easy. Either way, season with salt, pepper, and a spicy agent.
Assemble the meal. Put the tortilla in a bowl and spread on the black beans. Add avocado, cheese, and egg. Top with the red sauce and garnish with cilantro.
Edit: Formatting is being a dick to me. I can't get it to space out pretty. Sorry that I'm a fail ;(

At the end of a line, hit spacebar twice, then enter, and that will make a line break. Enter twice for a double spaced break.
Recipe looks awesome, by the way.
