QUICK AND EASY HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Quick and Easy Huevos Rancheros image

Being Canadian, the only time we were able to enjoy this dish was when we traveled to Cali. When searching for a recipe (including this site) I unfortunately could not find the perfect solution. There were so many different variations with either too many ingredients or missing things we love most. I'm a busy Mom and want EASY so I decided to wing it and came up with my own version. Top with sour cream if desired.

MEXICAN BREAKFAST



Mexican breakfast image

The Mexican name for this dish is 'huevos rancheros' - eggs with chillies, tomatoes and peppers in burritos. It's absolutely great if you've got a few mates round, and even better if you've got a hangover you're trying to shake off!

Categories     Breakfast     Jamie's America     Eggs     Father's day     Mexican     Tomato

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 red peppers
2 fresh red or orange chillies
olive oil
1 large dried chilli
3 fresh bay leaves
2 x 400 g tins of quality plum tomatoes
2 large ripe tomatoes
6 large eggs
6 tortillas
Cheddar cheese, to serve

Steps:

  • Peel and finely slice the onions and garlic. Deseed and finely slice the peppers and chillies.
  • Get a large frying pan (make sure you've got a lid to go with it) on a high heat and add several good lugs of olive oil.
  • Add the onion, garlic, peppers, fresh and dried chillies, bay leaves and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and cook for 15 minutes, or until to softened and caramelised, stirring regularly.
  • Pour in the tomatoes, using a spoon or potato masher to break them up. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a medium heat and cook for a further 5 minutes to reduce the sauce.
  • When you've got a nice thick tomato stew consistency, have a taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
  • Slice the fresh tomatoes and lay them over the top of the mixture.
  • Use a spoon to make small wells in the tomato stew, then crack in the eggs so they poach in the thick, delicious juices - try to crack them in as quickly as you can so they all get to cook for roughly the same amount of time.
  • Season from a height, put the lid on and let the eggs cook for around 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
  • Warm the tortillas while this is happening. You can pop them into the oven at 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for a few minutes, microwave them for a few seconds or even lay them over the lid of the pan so they heat up as the eggs cook.
  • Take the lid off and check your eggs by giving them a poke with your finger. When they're done to your liking, turn the heat off and take the pan to the table with the warmed tortillas, the Cheddar and a grater so everyone can get involved and make their own. Personally, I like to grate a bit of cheese right on to a warm tortilla, spoon an egg and some of the wonderful tomato stew on top, wrap it up, and eat it right away. What a beautiful way to wake up!

Number Of Ingredients 9

The Best Ranchero Sauce Recipe
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 Old El Paso Flour Tortillas
15 ounce Mexican chorizo
15 ounces black beans
2 ripe avocados (sliced)
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
10 large eggs

Steps:

  • Warm the ranchero sauce on the stovetop. Pour the beans in a small sauce pot. Warm over medium heat until simmering, then turn off the heat.
  • Place the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet and set over medium-high heat. Break the chorizo apart with a wooden spoon, and brown for 5-10 minutes, until the chorizo starts to turn crispy. Pour the chorizo onto a plate.
  • Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel, then add 2 tablespoons oil and set back over medium-high heat. One at a time, add the tortillas. Let them puff up for 3-5 seconds, flip and repeat. Then remove the tortillas, and set on paper towels to drain. Repeat until all the tortillas are puffy and golden.

AUTHENTIC HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Authentic Huevos Rancheros image

Huevos Rancheros is a hearty breakfast pretty much anyone could love. Starting the day with a layered breakfast of corn tortillas, eggs, homemade refried beans and spicy salsa is a perfect fuel up.

Provided by Toni Dash

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 14.5-ounce can Diced Tomatoes (Undrained)
1/4 cup Yellow Onion (Roughly chopped)
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves (Packed)
1 large Garlic Clove (Peeled)
1 Jalapeño (Stemmed and seeded)
2 teaspoons Canola Oil
Kosher Salt (To taste)
1 15 15-ounce can Pinto Beans (Drained)
1/4 cup Water
1/4 cup Strong Brewed Coffee
1/2 teaspoon Adobo Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 large Garlic Clove (Peeled and diced)
4 large Eggs
8 Corn Tortillas (5-6 inch diameter)
2 teaspoons Canola Oil
1/4 cup Queso Fresco (Chopped)
2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro Leaves (Torn, for garnish)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, and jalapeño. Process until pureed.
  • In a medium saucepan, warm the 2 teaspoons of canola oil over medium-high heat. When the oil appears to ripple add the salsa. Stir constantly for 3-5 minutes, allowing the salsa to thicken slightly. Pour the salsa into a bowl, salt if needed, and return the pan to the burner without cleaning it.
  • Add the beans, water, coffee, adobo sauce, cumin, and garlic to the salsa pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly and smashing the beans (note: I find using a wooden cooking spoon works well for this). Cook for 3-4 minutes until the liquid begins to incorporate into the mixture, thickening the beans. Remove from heat and allow to sit (beans will continue to thicken). Salt if needed.
  • In a small skillet, add 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining canola oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla and allow it to warm for about 30 seconds, flip and warm on the opposite side for 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and place on an individual serving plate. Repeat, using more oil as needed, until four of the tortillas are each on serving plates. Continue warming the remaining four tortillas in the same manner and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, fry the eggs or scramble them (your choice). Divide the refried beans evenly (about 1/4 cup per serving) and spread a serving on each tortilla on the serving plates. Top with an egg (careful not to break the yolk if fried eggs), a serving of salsa (note: there will be more salsa then needed for each serving), cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of queso fresco. Fold each of the remaining four warmed tortillas and add one to each plate for sopping up the dish.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Huevos Rancheros image

The eggs in this beloved breakfast dish are sauced with a ranchero-style sauce of roasted tomatoes, spicy ancho chiles and smoky chipotles. To make breakfast easier, make the sauce ahead of time and reheat to serve, adding a bit of water to thin if necessary.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound ripe plum tomatoes
3 large cloves garlic, unpeeled
1 small onion (about 6 ounces), quartered
2 ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon chopped chipotle in adobo, plus 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon adobo sauce
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained with liquid reserved
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 corn tortillas
8 large eggs
Kosher salt
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion

Steps:

  • For the ranchero sauce: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and put the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the vegetables, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred in spots, about 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the papery skins from the garlic.
  • Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the ancho chiles, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  • Put the vegetables and any juices from the baking sheet into a blender. Add the ancho chiles, 1/2 teaspoon each chopped chipotle and adobo sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt and blend until fairly smooth. Taste; if you want the sauce spicier, stir in the remaining chopped chipotle and adobo sauce.
  • Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sauce (it will sizzle) and 1/3 cup water and cook, stirring, until thickened but pourable, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt as necessary. Cover and keep warm over low heat. If the sauce thickens too much, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out.
  • For the refried beans: Put the beans in a medium bowl with about half of their reserved liquid and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add the mashed beans and a big pinch of salt and mash again until smooth. Cook, stirring and scraping with a rubber spatula, until heated through. If the beans seem dry, add some more of the reserved liquid until they are creamy. Taste, season with salt if necessary and cover and keep warm over low heat.
  • For serving: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 tortilla and cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Flip the tortilla with tongs and continue to cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Remove from the pan to the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 7 tortillas, adding more oil if necessary. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the refried beans on each tortilla and keep warm in the oven.
  • Using the same skillet the tortillas were fried in, heat 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering, about 1 minute. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and cook until the edges are crispy and whites are almost set. Cover the skillet with a big pot lid and cook until the whites are completely set, 1 more minute. Remove the tortillas from the oven, top four with an egg, then return to the oven and repeat with the 4 remaining eggs.
  • Top the remaining tortillas with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle each with a pinch of salt, some ranchero sauce, Cotija cheese, cilantro and onion. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the salsa. This will give it the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro. However, fresh cilantro will give the salsa a much better flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs. They should be cooked until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  • Serve the huevos rancheros immediately. This will ensure that the eggs are hot and the salsa is fresh.

Conclusion:

Huevos rancheros is a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican breakfast dish. It is perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a quick weeknight meal. With its combination of fresh, flavorful ingredients, huevos rancheros is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new breakfast recipe, give huevos rancheros a try.
