Huevos Rancheros is a traditional mexican breakfast that was originally made for ranchers after their early morning chores were done. To be more specific, it was actually a second breakfast for them. It was a yummy filling breakfast to get them through to lunch before and after a work-filled morning.Typically served with tortillas, refried beans, salsa (green or red), fried eggs, and rice or potatoes.

However, now huevos rancheros now has many different variations. Depending on the region that you're in or an area with a heavy Mexican influence your huevos rancheros will look and taste differently from someone else's. But one thing is for sure, is that huevos rancheros are here to stay. \ My take on huevos rancheros is heavily influenced by my favorite Mexican meals made for me by my friends parents or local Spanish restaurants. The one thing that makes my huevos rancheros special for me is a fried tortilla. I love a good crunch to balance out the smooth refried beans and the creamy egg. A fresh tomato onion salsa right along side a slice of a ripe avocado, crumbled salty queso fresco, and a good squeeze of lime or green sauce. A perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, hot, cold, acidic, fresh, and spicy! Have you tried huevos rancheros? What’s your favorite toppings?
