How to make this recipe
Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat and drizzle a little bit of oil. Saute the garlic and onion for 2 minutes or until softened. Add the chopped bell peppers and saute for 5 minutes.
Then, add the canned tomatoes, tomato puree, and mix to combine. Pour the white wine into the pan, stir and let it cook for 5 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated. Stir often to prevent burning.
Next, add the beans, water, season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce. Stir occasionally.
Low the heat, make small wells in the bean mix, and add the eggs. Cover with a lid and let the eggs cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked to your taste.
Serve your huevos rancheros with chopped cilantro on top and sliced bread on the side.
