  4. While sauce simmers, cut pitas in quarters, brush with a little oil and place on prepared tray. Place pitas on second highest rack of oven and bake for 6-7 minutes, until toasted.
  5. Make 4 small indentations in the bean mix and crack an egg into each. Place pan on top rack of oven for 5-6 minutes, until egg whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny.
  6. While eggs are cooking, prepare tomato salsa. Finely dice red onion; cut cucumber in half lengthways then remove seeds; dice cucumber, tomato and capsicum 2cm. Add all to a medium bowl and toss with vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. top the huevos rancheros with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of tomato salsa and coriander. Divide between plates. Serve tostadas and extra tomato salsa on the side.
