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.

Dairy Free Huevos Rancheros
Mexican "rancher's eggs" is a fried corn tortilla topped with eggs and smothered in salsa. It's a delicious and filling way to start your day.
Ingredients
- oil
- 1-2 corn tortilla
- 2 eggs
- Salsa
Instructions
- 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 seconds. When it is a light golden brown, flip and do the same on the second side.
- 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.
- Fry two eggs sunny side up. Place the eggs on the tortilla and spoon the salsa over the whites while avoiding the yolk.
- 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.
