Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros, additionally known as Rancher’s eggs, is a lightweight breakfast choice often consisting of fried eggs over corn tortillas topped with salsa or pico de gallo. The rationale I consider this as a lightweight breakfast is as a result of historically it was served as a second breakfast to ranchers after they might come again from working within the early morning.

However I just like the crunchiness paired with the fried egg (runny yolk). I additionally prime mine with both refried beans or black beans. This makes the meal slightly extra filling however nonetheless a vegetarian pleasant breakfast.
