Dairy Free Huevos Rancheros

This dairy free huevos rancheros is a delicious and filling authentic Mexican breakfast!

Huevos Rancheros or “rancher’s eggs” are a delicious breakfast and is served with the traditionally large mid-morning fare on rural Mexican farms. 

They’re sunny side up eggs, served on a fried corn tortilla, and smothered in salsa.  You can eat it alone or add refried beans as a traditional side.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • oil
  • 1-2 corn tortilla
  • 2 eggs
  • Salsa

Instructions

  1. Add enough oil to your frying pan to fry the tortilla. When the oil is hot add the tortilla and fry it for a few second. When it is a light golden brown flip and do the same on the second side.
  2. Remove the tortilla and place it on paper towels to help soak up the excess oil. Take a few more paper towels and press on the top to remove even more oil. 
  3. Fry two eggs sunny side up. Place the eggs on the tortilla and spoon the salsa over the whites while avoiding the yolk.
  4. Optional: add refried beans or avocado slices on the side.

Notes

I like to use one corn tortilla for calories sake, but traditionally two are used. The calorie count is based on 1 tortilla, add another 52 calories for a second one.
