Huevos Rancheros

Classic Mexican breakfast

Huevos Rancheros (translated “ranch-style eggs”) feature fried eggs with cooked salsa and tortillas covered in beans. It’s a classic Mexican breakfast and just about any salsa can be used. This recipe does not call for a lot of salsa—you can certainly use more if you’d like. For a quick weekday breakfast, fried tostada shells can be used.

1 cloveFresh Garlic
½Onion, roughly chopped
½ cupHatch Chiles or 1 Serrano Chile,

½ tspSea Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat toaster oven or air fryer to 400 F. Place tortillas on a work surface and lightly spray both sides with oil. Place in toaster oven and bake until golden brown and crisp, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat, spray with oil. Crack eggs into skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 3 -4 minutes. Egg whites should be firm with crisp edges.
  3. While eggs are cooking, warm the beans. Beans can be warmed in a small pot on a stovetop or in a microwave. Microwave the beans for 1 minute, stir, then heat for about 30 seconds, or until heated throughout.
  4. Spread ¼ cup beans onto each tortilla, place on serving plate. Top each with a fried egg. Salsa may be warmed then spooned over the eggs. Sprinkle with cheese and avocado.

Warm Roasted Tomato Salsa:

  1. Place tomatoes on a foil lined baking sheet. Broil tomatoes until very soft and blackened, about 15 – 20 minutes. Drain off excess liquid. Place in a blender with remaining ingredients. Pulse blend until combined and slightly chunky.
  2. Heat 2 tsp oil in a small pot over medium heat. Carefully pour salsa into pan and heat throughout, about 3-4 minutes. Salsa will darken a bit. Remove from heat. Set aside until ready to use. Salsa may be served with Huevos Rancheros and can be added to shredded or ground meats for added flavor.
