When I&#8217;m out to brunch, I can&#8217;t resist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-breakfast-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mexican-breakfast-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Mexican-inspired breakfast<\/a> dishes like breakfast tacos, eggy burrito bowls and the simple-yet-essential huevos rancheros.<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, first things first: What are huevos rancheros? Huevos rancheros (&#8220;rancher&#8217;s eggs&#8221; in English) consist of crispy tortillas topped with fried eggs, salsa and optional toppings. The dish originated in Mexico, where farmers ate it as a hearty breakfast for all-day energy.<\/p>\n<p>This huevos rancheros recipe layers smoky, refried black beans, sliced avocado, salsa, pico de gallo and fresh cilantro on top of a crispy corn tortilla for a fresh and flavorful meal. Of course, we can&#8217;t forget about the fried egg (this <em>is<\/em> an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-egg-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-egg-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">egg recipe<\/a>, after all!). When you cut into it, the runny yolk becomes a delicious sauce that flows over the other ingredients.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Huevos Rancheros<\/h2>\n<p>This huevos rancheros recipe has four basic steps: lightly frying the tortillas until crisp and golden, sauteing onion and garlic with black beans, cooking the eggs, and assembling everything with garnishes and toppings.<\/p>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s a four-part recipe, each ingredient takes only a few minutes to prepare, and they&#8217;re all cooked in the same skillet. Since we&#8217;ll be using the same pan to fry the tortillas, make the refried beans and cook the eggs, I recommend using a nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking. You&#8217;ll be digging into a plate of huevos rancheros in about 30 minutes!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Huevos Rancheros<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tortillas:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll fry corn tortillas to create the sturdy base for this huevos rancheros recipe. If you want to go the extra mile, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/corn-tortillas\/?\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/corn-tortillas\/?\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade corn tortillas<\/a> for an unbeatable fresh flavor. You can make huevos rancheros with flour tortillas if you prefer the taste, but be sure to buy the smaller 6-inch tortillas, not the jumbo burrito-size ones!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion and garlic:<\/strong> Sauteed onion and garlic add flavor and texture to the black beans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black beans:<\/strong> Use canned black beans to make a quick mashed bean spread for the tortillas. If you&#8217;re short on time, you can substitute store-bought refried beans for the onion, garlic, seasonings and black beans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> Cumin and chili powder\u2014common spices in Mexican cooking\u2014are used to give the beans a smoky and mildly spicy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> There are no huevos without eggs! You&#8217;ll need eight large eggs to make this recipe as written. If you&#8217;d like to make a single serving, scale back and use just one or two eggs. Save the leftover beans for another day, or use them as a bean dip with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-tortilla-chips\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-tortilla-chips\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">tortilla chips<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avocado:<\/strong> Fresh, buttery avocado garnishes each serving of huevos rancheros. You can slice or cube the avocados, or mash them to make quick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-guacamole\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-guacamole\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">guacamole<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salsa:<\/strong> Huevos rancheros are traditionally topped with red salsa, but any variety and level of hear works here. You could also use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fresh-salsa-verde\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fresh-salsa-verde\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">salsa verde<\/a> or a homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/roasted-tomato-salsa\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/roasted-tomato-salsa\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roasted salsa<\/a>. To intensify the flavor of your salsa, try warming it in a saucepan before loading it on top of your huevos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pico de gallo:<\/strong> Pico de gallo typically has a chunkier texture and fresher flavor than jarred salsa, but you get the best of both worlds with this recipe. Find prepared pico in the grocery store&#8217;s refrigerated section, or make your own with this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/copycat-chipotle-pico-de-gallo\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/copycat-chipotle-pico-de-gallo\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">copycat Chipotle pico de gallo<\/a> recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro:<\/strong> A sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro adds brightness and fresh flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Fry the tortillas<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2113697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/TOHVS25_278782_MF_01_24_1.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot of a person using tongs to flip a yellow corn tortilla in a black skillet, the skillet is placed on a white wooden surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.

For even more heat, use spicy salsa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Huevos Rancheros<\/h2>\n<p>Huevos rancheros are best prepared fresh, but the leftover beans, tortillas and toppings can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Reheat the beans in the microwave or on the stovetop, and fry fresh tortillas and eggs when you&#8217;re ready for another helping of huevos.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze huevos rancheros?<\/h3>\n<p>The mashed black beans are the only freezer-friendly component of this huevos rancheros recipe. The tortillas and eggs are best prepared fresh. Try cooking a big batch of black beans in advance to cut down on morning breakfast prep.<\/p>\n<p>Freeze individual portions of the beans in a silicone muffin tray or another divided container, then pop them into a storage bag and freeze them for up to three months. Thaw and reheat the beans in the microwave or on the stovetop before assembling your huevos rancheros.<\/p>\n<h2>Huevos Rancheros Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2113690\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Huevos-Rancheros_TOHVP25_278782_MF_01_24_2.jpg\" alt=\"3\/4th shot of Huevos Rancheros; it consists of a fried egg, a corn tortilla, salsa, avocado and cilantro; the tortilla is topped with refried beans, a fried egg, and a generous amount of salsa; the salsa is made of diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro; avocado slices are fanned out around the egg and tortilla\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make huevos rancheros with scrambled eggs?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can make huevos rancheros with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/scrambled-eggs\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/scrambled-eggs\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">scrambled eggs<\/a> if you prefer them.
