Black bean interpretations: irreverent huevos rancheros

Mandatory:

• 1 can of black beans
• 1/2 onion
• 1 green pepper (or bits and pieces of several, of different colors)
• 2 eggs
• 2 tortillas
• salsa
• your favorite seasonings

Optional:

• 1 tomato
• sour cream
• cilantro
• cheese

1. Saute the onion and pepper for 5-7 minutes; add the partially drained black beans.  (Yes, partially drained!  Don’t be afraid of that mysterious liquid; I promise you will be pleasantly surprised.)  Season with something interesting, like paprika or cumin.  Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
2. Hollow out 2 holes in the beans and drop an egg directly into each.  Cover; cook for 3-4 minutes.
3. Serve beans+egg on a warm tortilla, with salsa, and decorate in any way that makes you happy.  Best enjoyed with October sunshine and a handsome husband.
