Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast featuring fried eggs served on warm corn tortillas topped with a fresh tomato-chili salsa and beans. This hearty dish combines bold flavors and simple ingredients for a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 corn tortillas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup black beans, warmed
  • 1/2 cup fresh tomato salsa (chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or queso fresco
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
  • Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Fry the tortillas one at a time until slightly crispy but still pliable. Remove and set aside on paper towels.
  3. In the same skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up until whites are set but yolks remain runny. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Warm the black beans in a small pot or microwave.
  5. To assemble, place each tortilla on a plate, spread black beans over them evenly.
  6. Place a fried egg on top of each tortilla.
  7. Generously spoon fresh tomato salsa over the eggs.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and garnish with avocado slices and fresh cilantro.
  9. Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a splash of lime juice to the salsa or topping with sour cream. You can also substitute corn tortillas with flour tortillas if preferred.
