Print Recipe

Enjoy a vibrant and flavorful Huevos Rancheros, a classic Mexican breakfast featuring perfectly fried eggs atop warm tortillas, smothered in a zesty salsa, and served with creamy refried beans. This dish is sure to bring a touch of Sunday joy to your morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 corn tortillas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup refried beans
  • 1/4 cup salsa ranchera
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Lightly fry the corn tortillas in the skillet until softened, about 30 seconds per side. Remove from skillet and place on serving plates.
  4. Crack the eggs into the same skillet and fry them to your desired doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy recommended).
  5. Spoon the warm refried beans onto each tortilla.
  6. Carefully place a fried egg on top of the beans for each serving.
  7. Spoon salsa ranchera over the eggs.
  8. Add your favorite garnishes like cilantro, cotija cheese, or avocado.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa ranchera or add a pinch of chili flakes to your salsa.
  • If you don’t have refried beans, you can mash black or pinto beans with a little water and seasoning.
  • Ensure your skillet is not too hot when frying the eggs to avoid overcooking the yolks.
