Ingredients

• 6 eggs, cooked over medium
• 1 can refried beans
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 avocado, sliced fresh
• 1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
• 1 cup homemade ranchero sauce (see recipe below)
• 1/2 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream)
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
• Cooking oil, for griddle
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Homemade Ranchero Sauce

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (or 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped)
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: pinch of chili powder for extra heat
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Make the Ranchero Sauce (ahead or day of):
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet or small pan (can use the Blackstone). Sauté onion until soft, 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeño, cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
3. Stir in tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 10–15 minutes until thickened. Blend for smoothness if desired. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
4. Cook the Bacon:
5. On the Blackstone, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon.
6. Warm Beans and Tortillas:
7. Warm refried beans in a small pan or on a section of the Blackstone. Set aside and keep warm.
8. Add a little oil to the griddle and warm the corn tortillas until soft and lightly crisped, about 1–2 minutes per side.
9. Cook the Eggs:
10. Crack eggs directly onto the griddle and cook over medium heat until whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, or to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
11. Assemble the Tacos:
12. Spread a layer of warm refried beans on each tortilla.
13. Top with a cooked egg, a generous sprinkle of crumbled bacon, and fresh avocado slices.
14. Add Cotija cheese, a spoonful of ranchero sauce, a drizzle of crema, and finish with minced cilantro.

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy a bold, savory breakfast taco experience.
