This traditional Mexican Huevos Rancheros recipe is the perfect breakfast recipe with crispy tortillas, fried eggs, and tasty homemade salsa.

Ingredients

  • 6 Roma tomatoes
  • 2 seeded serrano peppers
  • 1 peeled yellow onion (cut into thick slices)
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons neutral flavored oil + more for frying
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups refried beans
  • queso fresco for garnish
  • chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°.

  2. 2

    Add the tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic to a sheet tray lined with parchment paper, and coat in the 3 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Roast in the oven at 425° for 30 minutes and then add to a blender and pulse a few times so that it is like a chunky salsa. Transfer to a saucepot, adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, and keep warm over low heat.

  4. 4

    While the vegetables are roasting you can prepare everything else. In a large frying pan add some neutral flavored oil and heat over medium heat or until it is 350°.

  5. 5

    Fry the corn tortillas until crispy in batches, which takes about 1 minute per side. Place them on a rack over a sheet tray to drain.

  6. 6

    In that same oil, fry eggs to your desired amount of doneness. Be sure to season them with salt and pepper.

  7. 7

    Serve the eggs on top of the crispy tortillas and top off with salsa. Other things to serve it with are warm refried beans, queso fresco cheese, and cilantro.
