Huevos Rancheros (Easy & Authentic)
Prep 15 min Cook 15 min Serves 2 Source

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 (6-inch) tortilla
  • 1 cup refried beans (warmed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup ranchero sauce
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese
  • ½ avocado (sliced)
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps

  1. 1

    Crisp the tortilla. Heat the oil in a small to medium skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla and cook for 30 seconds on each side, until it becomes slightly crispy. Use tongs to remove the tortilla to a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Repeat this process.

  2. 2

    Fry the eggs. In the same pan, crack the eggs. Fry the eggs until they’re cooked to your liking.

  3. 3

    Layer the huevos rancheros. Add the tortillas to a plate. Top each tortilla with a spread of refried beans and a fried egg. Drizzle the ranchero sauce on top.

  4. 4

    Garnish and serve. Season the egg with salt and pepper. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, crumbled cotija cheese, and sliced avocado before serving.
