Preparation

  1. 1.
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2.
    Add the minced garlic and chipotle peppers to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. 3.
    Pour in the diced tomatoes and cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. 4.
    In a separate skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness.
  5. 5.
    To serve, divide the cooked black beans and rice among four plates. Top each plate with a fried egg and spoon the tomato sauce over the eggs.
  6. 6.
    Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.

Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Black beans — If using canned black beans, rinse them thoroughly before using to remove excess sodium.
  • Chipotle peppers — Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers according to your spice preference. For a milder flavor, use only one pepper or omit them entirely.
  • Eggs — To achieve a perfectly runny yolk, fry the eggs on medium heat for about 3 minutes. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added freshness, squeeze some lime juice over the dish before serving.
  • Serve with warm tortillas or crusty bread for a complete meal.
  • Customize the spice level by adding hot sauce or jalapenos.
  • Experiment with different types of beans, such as pinto or kidney beans, for a variation in flavor.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream or avocado slices as a creamy topping.

Serving advice

Serve the Huevos Habaneros with a side of warm tortillas or crusty bread to soak up the delicious tomato sauce. Pair it with a fresh fruit salad or sliced avocado for a refreshing and balanced meal.

Presentation advice

Arrange the dish by placing a bed of black beans and rice on the plate, followed by the fried egg on top. Drizzle the tomato sauce over the egg, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color.
