Provided by Sommer Collier

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

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
Possible Add-Ons: cilantro, (salsa verde, pico de gallo, sour cream)

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.
  • Using the same skillet, cook the eggs to order. Traditional Huevos Rancheros are made with sunny side up eggs, but I personally like scrambled eggs in this dish.
  • To Serve: Place two tortillas each, on five plates. Top with warm black beans, eggs cooked to order, chorizo, ample ranchero sauce, sliced avocado, and queso fresco.

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!

Provided by Jamie Oliver

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!

HUEVOS RANCHEROS (TEX-MEX)



Huevos Rancheros (Tex-Mex) image

Love to make this once an awhile instead of breakfast tacos, especially with house guests. It's so easy, but it will look like you slaved over a hot stove all morning. The sauce can be made in advance to make things go even quicker.

Provided by Pokey in San Antonio

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup onion (diced)
1/4 cup green bell pepper (diced)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 jalapeno (minced)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 (10 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 -2 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons white vinegar (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
8 eggs
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (10 ounce) can refried beans (with jalapenos)
1 -2 link chorizo sausage
12 -20 flour tortillas
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Sauce: Sauté onions, bell peppers, garlic, and jalapeno in olive oil until onions are soft. Keep the temp low as to not burn the garlic. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. Start with one tablespoon of paste. If still too thin, add more. Keep warm if using right away, otherwise reheat when ready.
  • Eggs: This is the best way to make perfect over-easy eggs. For this meal, it's best to make them last. Melt butter in frying pan that has a lid. When butter is getting frothy, gently crack eggs so you don't break the yokes. Salt and pepper to taste. When whites are set, turn up the heat slightly, pour the water in between the eggs, and cover. Remove lid and serve as soon as the "skin" has set over the yokes. This only takes 30 seconds to a minute, so keep an eye on them.
  • Sides: Remove from casing and brown chorizo, remove and reserve the grease. Fry the refried beans in the chorizo drippings until soft and bubbly. Salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked chorizo and stir. Add a little water if to keep the beans thin and a little soupy.
  • Meanwhile, warm tortillas on a hot griddle. About one minute per side. Keep warm.
  • To serve: Place two eggs on one side of the plate. Spoon refried beans on the other--if they are the right consistancy they should spread to cover their side of the plate. Top and surround the eggs generously with the sauce. All but the rim of the plate should covered with eggs, sauce, and beans. Sprinkle cheese on the beans. Serve with several warm tortillas for scooping on the side.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS

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, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your huevos rancheros. Fresh eggs, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful cheese are essential.
  • Make your own salsa: It's easy to make and will taste much better than store-bought salsa. You can find a simple recipe in the article.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the eggs, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of fry.
  • Season the eggs to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like to the eggs before cooking them.
  • Serve immediately: Huevos rancheros is best served hot and fresh. So make sure to cook the eggs just before you're ready to eat.

Conclusion:

Huevos rancheros is a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican breakfast dish. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that will keep you full all morning long. So next time you're looking for a new breakfast idea, give huevos rancheros a try. You won't be disappointed.
