Huevos rancheros are named after their popularity in farms, especially in Mexico. This dish is a quite hearty and filling option for breakfast, so it is suitable for people who are about to endure a full day of physical labor. However, our society has given it several other purposes over time.
First of all, this recipe is naturally vegetarian, which means it is great for people avoiding meat. Besides that, it is so filling and nutritious that many people have been choosing it for a no-hurry brunch with friends, or even as a dinner in those week evenings where we are too tired to cook.
Since this Huevos rancheros recipe is based on vegetables, besides eggs, it is natural that we would recommend you to get the best ones you can find. Most of its irresistible flavor comes from a proper union of fresh units. Without further ado, let’s dive into all the details of our huevos rancheros recipe!
The first thing to keep in mind is that this recipe has separate parts. Besides frying the eggs, you will need to cook the beans, and make the pico de gallo. The latter is a Mexican recipe for spicy tomatoes where you prepare them in a specific way. The final dish is made putting all together.
While the original recipe has many signature ingredients, it accepts a few customizations quite well. After we show you the actual steps of our Mexican huevos rancheros recipe, we are going to show you some of those customizations. We are sure that you are going to love the options!
We know that it is not always easy for people to get high-quality fresh vegetables. Whatever you can find at your nearest grocery store will work well, there is no need to worry. Just keep in mind that, next time you have access to those premium ones, opting for them will definitely pay off.
To make Huevos Rancheros with Queso Fresco, you will need the following ingredients:
Bring tomatoes and enchilada sauce to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for five minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in ⅓ cup of chopped fresh cilantro and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.
Place the pinto beans in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water. Mash the beans partially with a fork. Cover the bowl and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes on high heat.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the eggs to the skillet and cook for at least a minute on each side until the eggs reach your desired degree of doneness.
Warm the tortillas according to the directions on the package.
Spoon about ⅓ cup of beans over each tortilla and spread out. Place a fried egg on each of the tortillas.
Pour about ½ cup of sauce around each of the eggs and sprinkle each one with ¼ cup of crumbled queso fresco.
Enjoy these huevos rancheros exactly as they are or add extras like sour cream and avocado.
