Huevos Rancheros with Queso Fresco
While Huevos Rancheros with Queso Fresco is generally served as a breakfast dish consisting of fried eggs, tortillas and fresh salsa made of tomatoes, chili peppers, onion, and cilantro, I like to make this as a quick and easy midweek dinner. In this recipe, I add pinto beans as an accompaniment to the eggs to make a more filling meal. Crumbled queso fresco as a garnish adds a freshness to the whole dish.
Begin these huevos rancheros by heating tomatoes and enchilada sauce together in a saucepan. Mix in cilantro and lime juice. Heat the pinto beans in the microwave before frying the eggs in a large skillet. Warm the tortillas and assemble the huevos rancheros.
To make Huevos Rancheros with Queso Fresco, you will need the following ingredients:

Thanks so much for sharing this, I made it for taco day since me and the family were tired of tacos and this was a winner for all of us!
My stomach has never been happier and it's a meal I didn't have to go to a resturant to get, thanks so much.
I wanted a bigger kick in my huevos rancheros so i dropped a bit of hot sauce and boy!! There was a huge party in my mouth.
Had it cold the next day for work and it was actually still good, so would recommend making this.
Great recipe, very good and easy to make thanks so much for sharing with us.
Used hard taco bread instead of soft bread cause I like a bit of a crunch, really good.
Can't wait to make this again, I just finished devouring it whole and it was absolute QUALITY, fantastic.
My kids actually ate the whole thing without complaint, i'm satisfied LOL.
Mouth-watering to look at and melts in your mouth kinda good, would totally make this again.
Anyone know where I can find enchilada sauce or what to replace it with? I'm in Poland right now :(
Made this for my kids for breakfast, they turned out just like the pictures and my kids devoured them almost instantly haha.
What can I say, truly a masterpiece of flavors, five stars from me, love this Queso fresco.
Don't know how it's possible that i've never had this before, too good to be true. Loved it!!
I'd rate this higher than a 5 if i could, the flavors in this dish are really well put together and it's extremely filling plus healthy [to an extent lol].
I’m scribbling down the ingredients because I want them for dinner tonight :)
I cooked this for my husband, he loved it although he did mention that a little spice wouldn't hurt to flavor up the dish.
Bookmarking this page, really can't get enough of these amazing looking recipes, so delicious.
These look truly over-the-top delicious. Sounds like I have my weekend breakfast project mapped out!
This was extremely flavourful, never had a queso fresco quite like this, will definitely be making this again.
Prepared this yesterday, the ingredients go so well together its incredible.
Hubby and I enjoyed this with some malta goya and added rice into ours to make it a bit more filling.
The amazing flavors in this breakfast taco is irresistible!
I made this and it felt like something was missing. I added some avocado and now every time I make these there's always avocado in it!
Wonderful. I cannot resist, I’m going to prepare it right away!
I can recommend this for anyone who has a knack for Mexican kitchen, delicious!
This dish is so different and so delicious, thank you will be making this a lot more often.
OMG. these are so, so incredible. THANK YOU
Preparing the dish took some time and even though its absolutely delicious and my kids loved it, I would not really call this breakfast.
Don't microwave the beans! Instead toss them on a pan to heat them up. Makes the taste much more rich!
Such a good and easy recipe, followed this through and through and it came out perfect, so good!
This recipe looks absolutely delicious. Thank you for sharing this amazing dish.
I have an intense obsession with these ever since I tried them over the weekend, love them.
this was the easiest way to cook this dish
