HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Huevos Rancheros image

Eggs "rancher's style" is a traditional, hearty Mexican breakfast typically enjoyed after a hard morning's work. But it also makes for a satisfying and comforting weeknight dinner. The simple yet flavorful homemade salsa comes together quickly and is smartly used in three ways: a quick simmer transforms the salsa into the warm ranchero sauce; it adds a zesty flavor that shines through in the smoky refried beans; and it gives a final fresh finish as a tangy topping. Any leftover ranchero sauce and refried beans make for great dips the next day.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ripe tomatoes, diced
3/4 cup finely chopped white onion (from ½ medium onion)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 small jalapeño, stemmed and minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, such as Diamond Crystal, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, plus more for serving
8 (6-inch) warmed corn tortillas
Sliced avocado and crumbled queso fresco, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, jalapeño, 2 teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon of the garlic, and mix well. Transfer 1½ cups of the fresh salsa to a bowl and set aside.
  • Cook the remaining salsa over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes soften and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Transfer the ranchero sauce to a bowl and cover to keep warm (you should have about 2 cups).
  • In the same saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add the remaining ¼ teaspoon garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the beans (and their liquid), cumin, smoked paprika and ½ cup of the reserved fresh salsa, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and mashing with the back of a spoon or potato masher, until the mixture is smooth and thick, about 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste and remove from heat.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium. Crack in 4 of the eggs and cook undisturbed until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and repeat with the remaining oil and eggs.
  • Meanwhile, stir the cilantro into the remaining 1 cup reserved salsa. Divide the tortillas across 4 plates (2 per plate). Spread refried black beans on the tortillas and top each with an egg. Cover the eggs with ranchero sauce. Divide avocado on the plates and garnish with some of the fresh salsa, queso fresco and cilantro.

MOM'S HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Mom's Huevos Rancheros image

Mom wasn't Mexican, but she could sure cook like she was. This is a delicious brunch dish where eggs are poached in salsa, served on corn tortillas, and topped with cheese, sour cream, and black olives. This recipe would also be good with fresh avocado or guacamole. If you use gluten-free tortillas, which are easy to find, it would be gluten free. Hold the cheese and sour cream and it is dairy free!

HUEVOS RANCHEROS WITH TOMATILLO SAUCE



Huevos Rancheros with Tomatillo Sauce image

My husband and I had huevos rancheros while visiting Cuernavaca, Mexico, and he loved the meal so much he asked me to cook it for him when got home.

POACHED HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Poached Huevos Rancheros image

From a wonderful website, www.whfoods.com Tips: You may want to lay the spoon with the egg on a towel briefly after removing egg from water. This allows the towel to absorb some of the poaching water, and it won't end up in your beans.

Provided by The Tiny Chef

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 free range eggs
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or 1 teaspoon any other light vinegar
4 cups water
4 tablespoons chicken broth or 4 tablespoons vegetable broth
2 (16 ounce) cans black beans, drained
1 medium onion, minced
4 medium garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons red chili powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup salsa (prepared)
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 large avocado, cubed

Steps:

  • Bring water and vinegar to a light boil in a shallow pan. Make sure there is enough water to cover eggs.
  • In a separate stainless steel skillet heat 1 tbs broth. Sauté onion in broth over medium heat for about 5 minutes stirring frequently, until translucent. Add garlic, beans, red chili powder, cumin, and rest of broth while egg water is coming to a boil. Cook beans for about 10 minutes on medium low heat, stirring occasionally. Add cilantro, salt and pepper.
  • To poach eggs, crack into water and cook about 5 minutes, just until the white is set and the yolk have filmed over. Remove with a slotted spoon, and place eggs over beans. Serve with salsa, shredded romaine lettuce and avocado.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality tortilla. A fresh, corn tortilla will yield the best results.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs. They should be cooked until the whites are set, but the yolks should still be runny.
  • Use a flavorful salsa. This is the sauce that will tie the whole dish together, so make sure it has plenty of flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add other toppings. Some popular additions include avocado, cilantro, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Serve your huevos rancheros immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Huevos rancheros is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover tortillas, and it is also a very affordable meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a satisfying and flavorful dish that will please everyone at the table.
