I absolutely love ordering huevos rancheros whenever I see them on a menu. After years of tinkering with my own homemade version, this is the one I keep coming back to whenever I want something hearty and delicious.

The ranchero sauce starts with broiled tomatoes, onion, chiles, and garlic. A little chipotle powder adds a nice smoky flavor, and a squeeze of lime brightens everything up. It is a fantastic way to start your day.

Ingredients

4 large eggs
4 corn tortillas
1 cup refried black beans, warmed
4 roma tomatoes
1/2 white onion, chopped
1 serrano chile
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Salt to taste
Olive oil for cooking

6Instructions

1
Set your oven to broil and place the tomatoes, onion, serrano chile, and garlic on a baking sheet. Broil them until the vegetables are charred, then blend them until smooth.
2
Pour the blended sauce into a pan, stir in the chipotle powder and lime juice, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
3
Lightly fry the corn tortillas in a skillet with a little oil until they are crisp, then set them aside.
4
Fry your eggs in the same skillet to your desired level of doneness.
5
Spread a layer of warm refried beans on each tortilla, top with a fried egg, and spoon the warm ranchero sauce over the top.
6
Garnish with crumbled cheese, fresh avocado slices, and cilantro before serving.

Tips

You can store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To make this meal faster, prep the sauce ahead of time and just reheat it while you fry the eggs.
