"This recipe is very simple and budget friendly. Many of the basic kitchen staples used in many central american countries are included in this recipe. During cold winter months, I always use this recipe as a back up in case I get stumped as to what to make for lunch or dinner"

directions

  • In a large pot on medium high, heat up the oil and then saute the onions and bell pepper.
  • Add the beans, add about 3 cups water (atleast double the height of the beans, there should be enough room for eggs to generously fit on top of the beans and still have water above them). Add the jalapeno, chicken bullion, pepper and any more salt if needed. Add Tabasco to your taste if you desire.
  • Bring to a rapid boil then lower heat to medium. Before going to the next step, make sure that there will be enough water in the pot, above the beans, to cover eggs when they are dropped inches If the water level looks too low, add a little more water.
  • Gently crack eggs and DROP into the pot, starting at the edge first and then cracking/dropping the rest of the eggs around the edge until you reach the center. The eggs should not touch each other. Cover and let simmer for about 10 mins or until the yolk is set. Sprinkle the cilantro leaves on top of the soup the last couple of minutes of cookin.
  • To serve, put about 1/2 cup rice on the bottom of a soup bowl and laddle soup on top of rice (carefully placing the 2 eggs on top). Serv with warm corn tortillas.

  1. This recipe made my husbands day. He loved it! I used homemade pintos, was out of cilantro, but I bet that would have been delicious. I served it with a little grated cheese and some minced onion. Great comfort food for a chilly fall morning. I imagine we'll be enjoying this any time of day for many years to come. Thanks so much for sharing the keeper recipe.
     
  2. I made this with black beans since I was out of pintos and poached eggs separately since I doubled the recipe (we didn't want solid yolks). It was super great and comforting food on a chilly day! Thanks so much!

I was born in Honduras, Central America. I came to the states when I was about 2 yrs old and now currently have a full time job in the medical field. I have a family of 100+ relatives also living in Austin and we all share a passion for good food. I am known for the foods that I prepare for my dinner parties and special occassion gatherings. Weekends at my house are packed with family and friends because we usually have the grill going. I also have a knack for baking. I have been told by several people that I should open my own bakery or restaurant...which I am seriously considering in the near future. I absolutley love to cook and this is why Zaar is a heaven sent! I like to take other peoples feeings into consideration when rating recipes so my rating system reflects that. I do not rate below a 3 just for the simple fact that everyones taste is different and what might taste magnificant to some, might not be too great for others. I always give everything a second try unless I absolutley hate it (then I take a second look at the recipe and find out what attracted me to this recipe and how can I alter it a bit to my taste). I usually spend my free time brainbstorming recipes and creating them with my beautiful daughters (pictured above)!
