Huevos Rancheros
Fried eggs are set on lightly fried corn tortillas and covered in salsa roja, served alongside refried beans and crumbled queso fresco.
Where it comes from
Huevos rancheros started as a ranch breakfast in rural Mexico, built from tortillas, eggs, and whatever salsa and beans a household had on hand before the fields were worked.
What cooks argue about
The main split is the yolk: some cooks want it broken and cooked through so the sauce and egg mix, others insist on a runny yolk that breaks open at the table.
Versions
