Best Huevos Rancheros Recipe
Description
Best Huevos Rancheros Recipe features soft flour tortillas that are quickly fried until they puff and turn golden, creating a tender yet slightly crisp base. The black beans are gently warmed, complementing the crispy and savory Mexican chorizo cooked until it starts to crisp. Eggs are prepared in the preferred style, traditionally sunny side up but can be scrambled as favored. The dish is layered by placing the tortillas on plates, adding warmed beans, eggs, chorizo, and ample ranchero sauce, then topped with sliced ripe avocado and crumbled queso fresco for added creaminess and flavor contrast.
The combination of spicy chorizo and creamy avocado balances well with the rich ranchero sauce. The layered textures from tender tortillas, hearty beans, and the runny egg yolks create a satisfying dish often served for breakfast or brunch.
If preferred, corn tortillas can replace flour ones, using tostada shells as advised in the notes, offering a traditional variation to suit different tastes or dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- ranchero sauce recipe
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 10 flour tortillas Old El Paso brand
- 15 ounce Mexican chorizo
- 15 ounces black beans
- 2 avocado sliced, ripe
- 1/2 cup queso fresco crumbled
- 10 egg large
- cilantro salsa verde, pico de gallo, sour cream, possible add-on
Instructions
- Warm the ranchero sauce on the stovetop. Pour the beans in a small sauce pot. Warm over medium heat until simmering, then turn off the heat.
- Place the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet and set over medium-high heat. Break the chorizo apart with a wooden spoon, and brown for 5-10 minutes, until the chorizo starts to turn crispy. Pour the chorizo onto a plate.
- Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel, then add 2 tablespoons oil and set back over medium-high heat. One at a time, add the tortillas. Let them puff up for 3-5 seconds, flip and repeat. Then remove the tortillas, and set on paper towels to drain. Repeat until all the tortillas are puffy and golden.
- Using the same skillet, cook the eggs to order. Traditional Huevos Rancheros are made with sunny side up eggs, but I personally like scrambled eggs in this dish.
- To Serve: Place two tortillas each, on five plates. Top with warm black beans, eggs cooked to order, chorizo, ample ranchero sauce, sliced avocado, and queso fresco.
Notes
- If you want to try the recipe with a slightly different texture, use corn tortillas like Old El Paso Tostada Shells instead of flour tortillas.
