Huevos rancheros is a traditional breakfast dish in Mexico where it is often served mid-morning on large, rural farms. This dish is hearty enough to jumpstart your day no matter what type of work you have planned. Traditionally, the eggs and tomatoes are served on top of the tortillas, but we liked the flexibility of serving the tortillas on the side for dipping and scooping up sauce. Cilantro, avocado, and lime juice are classic toppings for huevos rancheros, but shredded cheese or pickled jalapenos would also taste great.
Note: if you would like to schedule this cook, but do not want to wait for the broiler to cool before refrigerating, sauté the onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat for 6 minutes instead of broiling.

Suvie Cook Settings
Bottom Zone: Slow Cook High for 1 hour
Ten minutes before the cook is complete, remove the pan from your Suvie. Using the back of a large spoon, create 4 shallow indentations in the tomato mixture.
Crack eggs into the wells and season with salt and pepper. Return pan to your Suvie and continue to cook.
Remove tortillas, beans, and eggs from your Suvie. If eggs are not completely set, broil for 5 minutes until cooked to desired doneness.
Divide eggs, beans, and tomato mixture between two shallow bowls and top with cilantro, lime juice, and avocado (if using). Serve tortillas on the side (tortillas can be broiled if desired).
Note: If you would like to make this recipe in Suvie 1.0, insert pans into the top zones of Suvie, fill reservoir, and set to Slow Cook on High for 1 hour.
