Wouldn’t you like to say good morning with Huevos Rancheros?
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Family Celebrations available at Publix. The opinions and text are all mine.
It doesn’t take long to make breakfast extra special and I promise my Huevos Rancheros will be met by smiling faces at your breakfast table. Even the pickiest eaters will love this vegetarian breakfast that takes minutes to make.
How to make Huevos Rancheros
Let’s get started by gathering the ingredients we need for our recipe. In chef speak this is called a mise en place (everything in its place). It’s a good habit to get into and you always have the ingredients you need ready and waiting before you get started.
The first step is really easy and you can make 2 or 20 tortillas for this delicious breakfast dish just by getting everything ready. Get a griddle or frying pan (or barbecue grill) hot and cook each side of the tortilla to brown slightly. You can, of course, use butter to make them extra flavorful but it’s not necessary.
The next step is adding a nice layer of heated refried beans to the tortilla. You could do this in batches if you’re cooking for a large group and keep them in a 200-degree oven while you were cooking the eggs.
The next step is adding a perfectly cooked (or as close as possible) fried egg to the top of the beans. I like my eggs sunny side up, but you can make them over easy if your guests prefer the eggs cooked a little more.
Then it’s time to add all the delicious toppings and sit down to breakfast. Full disclosure I ate three of those….sigh

Now, I have my kitchen back, I will make this recipe this weekend. I had huevos rancheros, once and now I can make my own.
Elaine says
I always see huevos rancheros when we go out for breakfast. It looks intriguing, but I’m more of a sweet breakfast kind of gal when we go out. At home I prefer the savory breakfast flavors though. So glad I found this recipe. I’ll give it a try this weekend.
Graciella says
Huevos Rancheros for breakfast sounds perfect to me! I have never tried it before but it looks delicious so I will try your recipe for sure! I think I am a chef too as I always prepare the ingredients mise en place style when I cook haha

Okay this definitely makes for a great breakfast indeed. I love Mexican food and the fact that I can incorporate it for breakfast just makes my day, haha!
Stephanie says
I’ve been living in Texas for years now and I have yet to try Huevos Rancheros. I won’t try them out somewhere because I can’t stand a yolk that isn’t fully cooked. We do “big breakfast Sunday” at our house and now I want to try these soon!
Eileen Mendoza Loya says
I will be making this for Saturday brunch. Looks really delicious and I know my family will enjoy this. We can pretend we are vacation in Mexico. Haha. I have to hype up the ambiance too.
Kate Kreates says
I used to love going out for huevos rancheros when I was studying in Mexico… I’m going to try this recipe and pretend I’m back there!
