This easy huevos rancheros recipe serves up ranch style eggs with fresh pico de gallo, refried beans and homemade ranchero sauce over corn tortillas.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe tomato (chopped)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ small onion (chopped)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt taste (I use about ¼ teaspoon)
  • 1.5 cups cooked pinto beans (drained, if using canned)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoons hot sauce (if desired – chipotle in adobo is a great option as well)
  • 4 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup Ranchero Sauce (or use warmed salsa or your favorite hot sauce)
  • Chopped cilantro and white crumbly cheese for garnish
  • Your favorite hot sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust for salt. You can use it right away, or cover and refrigerate at least one hour to let the flavors mingle and develop. You can leave it overnight.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onion and jalapeno peppers. Cook them down for 5 minutes to soften.

  3. 3

    Heat a large pan to medium heat.
