Huevos Rancheros
Huevos Rancheros is the most popular choice for breakfast and brunch in Mexican cuisine. The meal consists of fried eggs topped on corn tortillas with a red sauce, crumbled queso, and cilantro; served with a side of refried beans and sliced avocado. The dish is easy to put together, inexpensive, and oh-so satisfying.There are also a couple of variations of the dish. Huevos ahogados features the eggs poached instead of fried. Huevos divorciados has a different sauce for each egg: one red, one green. Huevos motulenos, originating from the city of Motul in the Yucatán, features the eggs on tortillas served with black beans, ham, peas, fried plantains, and salsa picante.
