    WHAT ARE HUEVOS RANCHEROS?

    Huevos Rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast. Its a fried egg served with cooked salsa, tortillas, and beans. When you cut into the eggs and the yolk mixes with all the flavors you can't stop eating! We've taken the huevos rancheros recipe and altered it just a tiny bit by cooking the eggs in the salsa. The eggs soak up all the flavor!

    WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED FOR EASY HUEVOS RANCHEROS RECIPE?

    • fresh salsa
    • canned tomatoes (I love fire roasted!)
    • green onions
    • eggs
    • shallot
    • jalapeno

    Other items for serving: You can eat it just straight out of the pan with the cooked salsa, eggs but other items you might want to pick up are :

    • corn tortillas
    • avocados
    • fresh cilantro
    • black beans or refried beans

    cilantro, shallow, salsa, canned tomatoes, eggs

    HOW TO MAKE HUEVOS RANCHEROS

    STEP ONE: In a little bit of heated oil sauté the shallot (and jalapeño if desired) for a few minutes.

    STEP TWO: Add your salsa and canned tomatoes and bring them to a simmer.

    WHAT KIND OF SALSA DO I USE?

    OF COURSE, the best salsa to use would be this fresh salsa recipe! It is SO good and full of fresh healthy ingredients. Make a big batch of it a day or so before so you don't feel rushed or over worked when making the huevos rancheros eggs.

    You can also purchase your favorite salsa, or the best fresh salsa your local grocery store has.

    STEP THREE: Bring the salsa to a simmer and make for little holes (less or more depending on how many eggs you are cooking)

    STEP FOUR: crack the eggs into the simmering salsa!

    Keeping the eggs simmering add a lid and let the eggs cook for a few minutes. For less runny yolks cook longer.

      A friend from Mexico used to make these after our morning walk and they were so incredibly delicious i can't believe i had forgotten about them. i had everything on hand, so guess what was for dinner tonight? so fantastic! I followed her original presentation -- warm flour tortillas in the oven then slather with refried beans (no milk used*) and dip into hot salsa after eggs are removed. plate each w/ a salsa poached egg and a few chopped green chilies and black olives and, of course, more salsa!. Ohhh, the pleasure! This Brought back good memories. (*Note: lactose intolerant here, so we skipped dairy items which Rosa didn't use in her huevos anyway so it wasn't missed) ~ Thanks so much!
