A Spicy Breakfast to Love
Huevos ranchero (weh-vohs ran-chair-ohs) translates to rancher’s eggs or ranch-style eggs. So it’s no surprise to find out that they are a traditional mid-morning meal out on a Mexican ranch. Being Hispanic, we grew up having these in our family and we love how delicious they are! More reasons why we love it:
A breakfast or dinner. This tasty dish is a mouthwateringly spicy breakfast option or a favorite for dinner (or even a great Breakfast for Dinner idea)! Mexican flavor. My version contains Refried Beans spread onto a lightly fried corn tortilla topped with a fried egg, Red Enchilada Sauce, Mexican crema, queso fresco, avocado, and cilantro. On the table in no time. From start to finish, this is on the table in under 30 minutes. That’s my kind of quick dinner idea!
