The Best Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo Recipe
Learn to make delicious huevos rancheros with chorizo, served with creamy frijoles con chorizo and melted cheese—a perfect Mexican breakfast dish.
Equipment
- 3 pans
- 2 paper towels
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Knife
- 1 Kithcen tongs
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortilla
- 8 pieces eggs
- 7 oz chorizo
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 1 piece jalapeno sliced
- 2 piece Tomato chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 1 cup beans black beans or pinto beans
- 1/4 cup queso fresco optional for garnish
- 1/4 cup melting cheese for beans
- 1/4 cup milk optional if using canned beans
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables:Start by chopping the vegetables. Slice the jalapeno, chop the onion and tomato, and set them apart.
- Cook the Chorizo:Cook 4 oz of chorizo in a large non-stick skillet. I usually don't add any oil to the pan as the chorizo already contains a lot of fat, and it cooks in its own rendered fat. It takes around 4-6 minutes on medium-high heat to be fully cooked. When the chorizo has changed to a deeper red color, add the vegetables and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Taste and add salt if needed. Cover to keep warm and set apart.
- Fry the Tortillas:In a hot pan, place the cooking oil and once it is boiling, place the tortillas in it, leaving enough space so they are not on top of each other. Toast them in the oil for around 1 minute on each side, then place them on top of a couple of paper towels to absorb the oil. For a healthier version, fry the tortillas in the air fryer by spreading a little bit of oil all over the tortilla.
- Fry the Eggs:Fry the eggs in the remaining oil and add a little salt on top.
- Assemble the Dish:Place the warm tortillas on a plate, add the sunny-side-up eggs on top of the tortillas, and then add the chorizo with pico de gallo on top.
- Prepare the Beans:Cook about 2 oz of chorizo and then add the refried beans. This is called frijoles con chorizo. Once they are hot, add the cheese on top, cover so the cheese melts, and this is ready to be served next to the huevos rancheros with chorizo.
