Huevos Rancheros Forever
Lt. Dan and I are Huevos Rancheros people. Whenever we go out for breakfast, an easy daytime date now that the kids are back in school, one of us always orders Huevos. Always. The other person inevitably orders french toast or pancakes. Then we share the two breakfasts, one bold and savory, the other sweet and pillowy. Huevos Rancheros is not something we keep only for breakfast date mornings. We make it at home as well. After having it so many times, we have absolutely perfected this recipe for huevos rancheros!

How To Make Huevos Rancheros
1 . The key to making The Best Huevos Rancheros Recipe, is to first make the absolute best ranchero sauce. I make mine with a touch of liquid smoke for depth, and a splash of cream for silky texture. Then I puree it, so it’s smooth and luxurious. The next two components are also of great importance. 2 . The eggs should be perfectly cooked to order. Sunny side up is the traditional choice, but I prefer my huevos as a fluffy scramble. I make them both ways, depending on who’s coming to breakfast. 3 . Next, choose good tortillas. If you love corn tortillas, go with Old El Paso Tostada Shells so you don’t have to fry them. However, in today’s “The Best Huevos Rancheros Recipe” I’m going with flash-fried Old El Paso Flour Tortillas. They puff up, with soft bubbly areas and crispy edges. Tortilla heaven! 4 . Top the puffy tortillas with beans, hot eggs, and plenty of Ranchero Sauce. Then sprinkle on cooked chorizo, queso fresco, fresh sliced avocado, and cilantro. Sometimes we add a little Mexican crema or sour cream. Sometimes we add a little salsa verde or pico de gallo. However, The Best Huevos Rancheros Recipe requires nothing more to be perfect. Salty, spicy, rich, and zesty, this ranchero recipe has it all!
