Prepare
- Chop 0.5 medium yellow onion
- Mince 2 clove garlic

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeño; cook for 3 minutes, until softened.
-
Step 2.
Stir in fire-roasted diced tomatoes with their juices, vegetable broth, cilantro, oregano, chopped chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
-
Step 3.
Let the ranchero sauce cool slightly, then transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside. (Sauce can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated; warm before serving.)
-
Step 4.
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine refried beans with ¼ cup water. Cook, stirring, until heated through.
-
Step 5.
Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 corn tortillas at a time (do not overlap) and cook for about 1 minute per side, adding more oil as needed. Transfer tortillas to a large baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Step 6.
Spread 2 tablespoons of warm refried beans onto each tortilla and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
-
Step 7.
While the tortillas are in the oven, heat ½ tablespoon vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet, cover, and cook for 4 minutes (or until whites are set and a white film forms over the yolk; for firmer eggs, cook 1 minute more).
-
Step 8.
Place one fried egg on each tortilla. Repeat with remaining 4 eggs, using additional oil if needed. Top each taco with ranchero sauce and chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
