Huevos Rancheros (Tex-Mex) image

Love to make this once an awhile instead of breakfast tacos, especially with house guests. It's so easy, but it will look like you slaved over a hot stove all morning. The sauce can be made in advance to make things go even quicker.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup onion (diced)
1/4 cup green bell pepper (diced)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 jalapeno (minced)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 (10 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 -2 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons white vinegar (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
8 eggs
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (10 ounce) can refried beans (with jalapenos)
1 -2 link chorizo sausage
12 -20 flour tortillas
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Sauce: Sauté onions, bell peppers, garlic, and jalapeno in olive oil until onions are soft. Keep the temp low as to not burn the garlic. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. Start with one tablespoon of paste. If still too thin, add more. Keep warm if using right away, otherwise reheat when ready.
  • Eggs: This is the best way to make perfect over-easy eggs. For this meal, it's best to make them last. Melt butter in frying pan that has a lid. When butter is getting frothy, gently crack eggs so you don't break the yokes. Salt and pepper to taste. When whites are set, turn up the heat slightly, pour the water in between the eggs, and cover. Remove lid and serve as soon as the "skin" has set over the yokes. This only takes 30 seconds to a minute, so keep an eye on them.
  • Sides: Remove from casing and brown chorizo, remove and reserve the grease. Fry the refried beans in the chorizo drippings until soft and bubbly. Salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked chorizo and stir. Add a little water if to keep the beans thin and a little soupy.
  • Meanwhile, warm tortillas on a hot griddle. About one minute per side. Keep warm.
  • To serve: Place two eggs on one side of the plate. Spoon refried beans on the other--if they are the right consistancy they should spread to cover their side of the plate. Top and surround the eggs generously with the sauce. All but the rim of the plate should covered with eggs, sauce, and beans. Sprinkle cheese on the beans. Serve with several warm tortillas for scooping on the side.

This recipe is a great way to start your day. It's hearty and filling, and the eggs are cooked perfectly. The salsa ranchera is also very flavorful and I love the combination of flavors with the fried eggs. I usually serve it with some refried beans

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love eggs and they love salsa, so they were excited to try this recipe. They ate it all up and didn't even realize they were eating vegetables!

I'm not a fan of Mexican food, but I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it. He said it was the best huevos rancheros he's ever had. I thought it was pretty good too, even though I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The eggs were overcooked and the salsa ranchera was bland. I followed the recipe exactly but something must have gone wrong. I won't be trying this recipe again.

Not bad, but not great either. The eggs were a bit dry and the salsa ranchera was a little too spicy for my taste. I think I would prefer a milder salsa next time.
