Ingredients
Chips
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 4 Yellow Corn Tortillas
- 2 cups red enchilada sauce, homemade or store-bought
Refried Beans
- 30 ounces refried beans
- ¼ cup Crisco shortening
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1-2 cups cheese
Toppings
- avocado
- Mexican crema
- queso fresco
- cilantro
- 4 fried eggs
Instructions
- Heat ½ cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add one tortilla at a time, flipping once, until lightly brown and crisp.
- Drain the freshly fried tortilla on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat this process until all tortillas are fried, adding more oil if needed.
- In another skillet, heat the enchilada sauce.
- While enchilada sauce is heating up, make beans by combining refried beans, shortening, and milk in a pot over medium heat. Stir vigorously with a fork or wire whisk until silky smooth. Add cheese and let melt before serving.
- Using the same frying pan where you fried tortillas, pour the oil in a bowl to cool and fry the eggs to your preference (runny, sunny side up, well done).
- Transfer two tortillas side by side onto a plate. Add some refried beans and spread it over tortillas.
- Add enchilada sauce (a large spoonful) and spread over the beans.
- Place your fried eggs on tortillas and finish with more sauce on top, avocado, crema, cilantro, and queso fresco.
Notes
- Recipe Tips.
- Prep ahead. The tortillas can be fried 1-2 days in advance. The refried beans can be made 1-2 days in advance and refrigerated. Just reheat when ready to use.
- Store. This recipe is best served fresh. If you have leftover ingredients, store them in separate containers. Keep assembled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 hours. Reheat huevos rancheros in the microwave or oven.
- While substitutions can be used, for the most authentic dish use the main ingredients listed.
- We use sunny-side-up eggs. Crack an egg in the skillet, keep the yolk intact, and fry for about 2-3 minutes.
