Huevos Rancheros with Beef

1.In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

2.Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Then, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3.Season the beef with ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

4.In a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas one at a time until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

5.In the same skillet, crack the eggs and fry them sunny-side up, or to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

6.To assemble, spread a layer of refried beans on each crispy tortilla. Top with a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef, followed by a fried egg.

7.Spoon salsa ranchera over the top of each egg and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

8.Serve immediately with additional salsa on the side.
