Huevos Rancheros Salad

Huevos Rancheros Salad

I found this  recipe in the Rachel Ray Magazine for October 2010. 
The picture looked simply amazing. 
I made a few adjustments to accompany my picky palate, but the results were delicious!! 

What you need:
1/2 cup green salsa or tomatillo salsa (I used green salsa) 
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
one can black beans, drained 
4 cups tortilla chips
4 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese   (i just bought a small block and used about half of it)
some lettuce, enough for how ever many salads you are making (I used romaine lettuce)
3-4 eggs
1 avocado (optional)

What you do: 
1. Preheat your oven broier. Line a baking sheet with parchment if you want to. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the salsa and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper. 
2. In a small bowl, mash half of the black beans with the remaining salsa. 
3. Arrange the tortilla chips on the pan and top with the mashed beans and cheese. 
4. In a bowl, toss the lettuce and remaining balck beans with the salsa. 
5. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, fry the eggs in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Place an egg on top of each salad. (I scrambled my eggs because I do not like runny yolk, but I scrambled them with a little oil, and they were delicious!!)
Now, make your salads. Top with avocado if you want. 

This was sooo good. We both gave it an A+!!
