Huevos rancheros, or ranch eggs, is a Tex-Mex breakfast favourite. It is traditionally made with fried eggs, but we like this creamy scrambled version. If time is tight, use bottled salsa instead of the ranchero sauce.

Method
Ranchero Sauce: In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, green pepper, garlic and jalape?epper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes.Add tomatoes, vinegar, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until thick enough that spoon drawn across bottom of pan leaves space, about 20 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool completely; refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
Black Bean Salsa: In bowl, stir together black beans, avocado, coriander, lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper; set aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)
Place tortillas in single layer on large greased rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven, turning once, until lightly crisped, about 5 minutes.
Scrambled Eggs: Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; pour in egg mixture and cook over medium-low heat until beginning to set. Gently draw spatula across bottom of pan to form large soft curds; cook, stirring, until thickened and moist but no liquid remains, about 3 minutes.
Overlap 2 tortillas on each plate. Spoon sauce over top; top with Monterey Jack cheese, eggs and salsa.
