Quick n’ Easy Huevos Rancheros

Huevos rancheros (Spanish for “eggs ranch-style”) are the perfect vegan meal. It is a common breakfast item served at Mexican farms and is made up of corn tortillas, fried eggs, and plenty of warmed salsa.

Even though this dish is a traditional Mexican country breakfast, from its home in Mexico, the dish has spread throughout the Americas. But, as with most things, not all versions of huevos rancheros are created equal. The best kind of ingredients is a must for this recipe.

This dish is the answer for when you’re craving some extra protein or a super hearty, quick meal. Also, the recipe is quite flexible and that’s what makes it great because there are times where you can just use canned salsa or add a few more chopped tomatoes and pickled jalapeños to make the sauce. You can even add a pinch of sugar to the salsa if you find it too acidic for your taste.

This huevos rancheros recipe is made up of fried eggs served on lightly fried or charred corn or flour tortillas topped with a salsa Fresca made of tomatoes, chili peppers, onion, and cilantro. Common companies include refried beans, Mexican-style rice, and guacamole or slices of avocado, with cilantro as a garnish.

When tomatoes are in season, you can top your huevos with pico de gallo in addition to salsa, for an extra-fresh flavor. It’s surely worth the effort if you have access to great tomatoes. Beans are often part of this dish, and you bulk up your version with lighter refried black beans. Then, you could fry eggs in a little amount of olive oil to produce crisp edges.
