I could eat huevos rancheros for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. A classic Mexican breakfast, huevos rancheros are fried eggs served on lightly crisp corn tortillas smothered in beans or salsa. I have a thing for fried eggs and if no one is looking I will lick my plate. That’s how good this dish is. Ever since I was a little girl I always liked runny eggs. My grandma would ask me how I liked my eggs and I would say, “con una bolita” (with a little ball on top), because I never knew how to say sunny side up or over easy in Spanish and she knew exactly what I meant.
This dish is considered a traditional Mexican peasant dish because more than likely you have all the ingredients on hand. I consider this dish the best kind of comfort food. It’s a simple recipe and a family favorite on a weekend morning. If you love huevos rancheros then also check out these smoky huevos rancheros.
Speaking of comfort food I will be on the road again and missing home and home cooking, but thankfully I’ll be staying with friends and family so there will be some home cooking involved.

Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo Refried Black Beans
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 corn tortillas
3 ounces Mexican chorizo, casings removed
1 cup black beans with liquid
Cotija or queso fresco
2 fried eggs
Pico de gallo
Crema Mexicana
Directions:
In a heavy skillet heat oil. Place tortillas carefully into hot oil, one at a time, and fry for 20 to 40 seconds on each side or until lightly crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
Crumble the chorizo into a cast-iron skillet and cook the chorizo over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the beans and cook for five minutes. Using a potato masher, combine the chorizo and beans together.
To assemble, place a tostada (fried tortilla) on a serving plate; spoon on some refried beans. Sprinkle with cotija cheese, and top with a fried egg, pico de gallo, and drizzle with crema Mexicana.
I’d love to see what you cook!

This look so good I do not like black beans in any recipes so will pinto beans work.
Also can I use pinto beans in all Mexican recipes that use black beans?
Thank you Maria. Absolutely! Pinto beans will work with this recipe too. Its really what you have on hand that make this dish special. Enjoy!
I love eggs. I could eat them all day, everyday. As a matter of fact, I had scrambled eggs with maduros for dinner last night and then again, but hard boiled for breakfast this morning. I’ve never had huevos rancheros. That is something I must put on the list. I have to confess though, that eggs and beans is a combination that scares me a bit. But, this recipe looks so good that I must try it.
What a great recipe! I could definitely eat that for breakfast! Pinned 🙂
Wow, you certainly have been busy! How exciting that you are sharing your book with so many people. My book club enjoyed your sangria recipe last month. It disappeared quickly!
