Huevos Rancheros translates to ranch eggs, its a common dish that is made famous by its simplicity and quickness to make. Its simply a tortilla, black beans, eggs and some flavorful topping of your choice. The base it simple and you can make it as complex as you want. What I love about Huevos Rachero is that it’s a light yet satisfying breakfast. The black beans and eggs are full of protein which keeps you full longer and gives you more energy.
What’s great about this recipe is that its very fluid. You can customize this dish to your taste without compromising the integrity of the dish. For example I opted for corn tortillas which makes this dish gluten free and extra sour cream because its delicious.
