Add the remaining ingredients except water, and saute for about 10 minutes. Puree the mixture in a food processor or blender, and return it to the pan. Add water a little at a time until the sauce reaches a consistency that you can drizzle. Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat for at least 20 minutes (the longer, the better), adding water as needed to keep it moist. The sauce can be made in advance and freezes well. Add more water, salt and vinegar to your liking when you reheat it. TO PREPARE THE BREAKFAST: Fry your tortillas in oil over medium-high heat, or warm them in the oven if you prefer soft tortillas. Heat the beans and the sauce in separate pans over medium heat. Fry eggs in a little oil over medium-low heat until the whites are set. Place one tortilla on each plate. Spoon over a fourth of the beans. Set the sunny-side up egg on top and drizzle with sauce. Most guests will appreciate extra rancheros sauce on the side.
