Huevos Rancheros is a flavorful Mexican dish with fried eggs on a bed of beans, salsa, and crispy tortillas. It’s garnished with avocado, cilantro, and cheese, making it a satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  • Corn Tortillas: 2 – These form the base of the dish, providing a crispy texture when fried.
  • Eggs: 2 – The main protein, fried sunny-side-up, with a soft and runny yolk.
  • Refried Beans: 1 cup – Adds creaminess and flavor to balance the crispy tortillas and rich eggs.
  • Tomato Salsa: 1/2 cup – A fresh, zesty salsa made from tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
  • Avocado: 1, sliced – For a creamy and refreshing addition to the dish.
  • Cilantro: A few sprigs – Fresh cilantro adds brightness and herbaceous flavor.
  • Crumbled Cheese: 2 tablespoons – Queso fresco or feta cheese adds a tangy contrast to the other ingredients.
  • Tortilla Chips: A small handful – For a crunchy garnish and extra texture.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. In a separate saucepan, warm the refried beans.
  2. Combine Ingredients: While the beans heat up, fry the tortillas in the frying pan until crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In the same pan, fry the eggs sunny-side-up, making sure to cook them just enough so the yolk remains runny.
  4. Assemble the Dish: On each tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans. Top with a fried egg, then spoon over some fresh salsa.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Continue to cook the eggs until they are fried to your liking, ensuring the yolks remain runny.
  6. Finishing Touches: Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on top of the beans and tortillas. Garnish with fresh avocado slices, crumbled cheese, and cilantro. Add some tortilla chips on the side for extra crunch.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Huevos Rancheros hot, with an optional drizzle of hot sauce or sour cream for added flavor.

Notes

  • Make it Spicy: Add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the salsa or eggs for extra heat.
  • Use Fresh Tortillas: Freshly made or warmed tortillas will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Overcook the Eggs: For the best experience, keep the yolk runny so it adds richness to the dish.
