I fell in love with Huevos Rancheros when my husband and I lived in Mexico. Don’t miss all my other favorite Mexican recipes.
Please tell me you have heard of this incredible dish before? Huevos Rancheros (Spanish for “rancher’s eggs”) is a popular Mexican recipe that’s made up of three signature ingredients; tortillas, fried eggs, and salsa.
This is a dish we had often in Mexico and it’s also very common on Mexican American menus here in the states. However, as with most things, not all versions of huevos rancheros are created equal! Good quality ingredients are essential for this recipe, including fresh and soft corn tortillas, quality refried beans and salsa.
1. Make the salsa. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté for a few minutes. Stir in cumin, salt and pepper, fire-roasted tomatoes (including juices), diced green chiles, and bring mixture to a simmer for 5 minutes.
