Mexican Breakfast
Believe me, I love my waffles and eggs, my pancakes and bacon, eggs benedict with ham, poached eggs on toast are fabulous, but a Mexican breakfast such as this one, is truly a special treat!
Out of all of the Mexican breakfast recipes out there, like huevos rancheros with chorizo, huevos rancheros casserole, chorizo con huevos, omelet recipes, and chilaquiles, this is certainly one of my ultimate favorites.
However, I’m always really busy during the week so it’s a little hard to make a special breakfast for my family during the week. But I always try to make time on the weekends to make them a fully enjoyable breakfast.
I literally go all out with my breakfast. I make waffles, pancakes, poached eggs with avocados or fried, home fries with peppers and onions (my favorite), bacon and sausage, biscuits and gravy, etc.
But every so often I throw in there my easy huevos rancheros recipe and surprise them with this awesome egg concoction.
Huevos Rancheros (Rancher’s Eggs) are very simple to make and the combination of corn tortillas, eggs, spicy sauce….is oh my goodness!
Huevos Rancheros are served very common place in Mexico, it’s considered an authentic Mexican food with sides of refried beans, rice, avocado, guacamole, potatoes and other delicious treats! But this delicious Mexican breakfast has also become so popular here in the States because word of any delicious food travels fast!
So what makes these eggs so good? Well my personal opinion is anything spicy adds a level of deliciousness period! Especially when you can still retain the original flavor of the main ingredient but yet enhance it’s taste, in this case the eggs with the ranchero sauce!
Huevos Rancheros Salsa-Ranchero Sauce
Ranchero sauce is made up of very simple ingredients of which you can add additional condiments too, to add variety to your sauce. But traditionally, ranchero sauce for eggs is just tomatoes, garlic and serrano peppers.
Note: If by chance you do not like anything spicy just exclude the serrano peppers from the ranchero sauce.
