Who says you can’t have Mexican food for breakfast? Definitely not me!! My love for Mexican food is almost parallel with my love for tea and you all know how much I love tea. Don’t know?! Well – I do!
Huevos rancheros is basically a tortilla with egg and Mexican beans and if you use leftovers from the previous night’s Mexican dinner, like I did, then this is really easy to throw together in the morning and will only take as long as it takes for the egg to cook.
It is a little odd eating spicy food so early in the morning, but still a great way to start your day!
Ingredients – serves 2:
- Leftover beans mixture from Bean Burritos or just a mixture of cooked beans in Mexican spices
- 4 eggs (the picture only shows one egg per person, but that’s just because I ran out of eggs, so I had a smoothie with mine too)
1) Add some oil to a pan and add the bean mixture and cook for a couple of minutes to head up.
2) Make too wells in the bean mixture and crack an egg into each one. Cook until the egg is cooked to your liking.
3) Serve on top of a tortilla. You can even add avocado if you like.

This looks delicious!
Would you believe I’ve never ever made Huevos Rancheros before? And I live in San Diego, of all places! Looks great.
wow – you need to get on that! I LOVE San Diego. I went there when I was backpacking and I had the best Mexican food of my life. The memories of cheap potato tacos in this hole-in-the-wall little Mexican place will stay with me forever
I could eat Mexican food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Me too. I think I should live in Mexico. Or Texas at least.
What kind of eggs do you buy? Do you always buy free range?
Yes, I buy free range
I love Huevos Rancheros. We make this most Sundays for brunch. There might be some champagne and orange juice involved too on special occasions
Ooooh, champagne breakfast! I only ever have that on holiday, and then it is every day. I think I might have to treat myself to it at home once a month. It woul be rude not to!
I love eggs for breakfast, but they can get so boring. This definitely doesn’t look boring, I can’t wait to make them.
I love eggs too. For breakfast or any time of the day. On the Facebook page I am posting a different breakfast every day to get out of a breakfast rut. I was bored with plain eggs or porridge every day.
I would never have thought to have spicy food for breakfast. It would be good for the metabolism.
You’re right – it would be. It is a little strange having Mexican food for breakfast. But a good strange
Hi Danni! This looks delicious! Having just come back from New Mexico, I’m thinking about Mexican food (which I didn’t actually have while I was there
) This looks easy and delicious though! Thanks for the recipe!
You didn’t have any Mexican food?
I think about Mexican food every day – it’s definitely one of my favourites. You’re right, this recipe is really simple.
