Meet your Cinco De Mayo, low-ish carb and healthy-ish breakfast. Not even Butter Milk Pancakes or a steaming stack of Banana Split French Toast can beat the flavour pants off of a good pan of Huevos Rancheros, all gringo style.
These may not be the traditional or authentic Huevos Rancheros…. but they are a version PACKED with flavour just the same, with an ingredient I know you all have in your kitchen cupboards…an ingredient so loved my millions around the world, and especially in this household. So what is it? Well, since I know how much you all love click-bait…I’ll keep you hanging by the seat of your pants. Just kidding. There’s a story behind my madness, so bear with me. It all started once upon a time when the husband and I were on holiday > only had salsa dip and eggs > put them together > made the best baked eggs in my life > came home to ramp them up all Mexican style > Easy Huevos Rancheros (a la gringa) was born. Now, before I start world war 3 with my beloved Mexican readers, I will say that I have tried traditional Huevos Rancheros. As much as I DO love the non-westernised recipe, this one, while not exactly the same, is in no means trying to disrespect Mexican cuisine at all. I promise! It’s a take on what I have done that worked for us, and maybe others will enjoy too . I say that with all my love.
After enjoying these eggs for lunch… continue your day with a Chili Lime Chicken Fajita Salad, finish your day with Slow Cooker Carnitas OR Cilantro Lime Chicken, and serve with Ice cream Churro Bowls and Frozen Margs! There ya go!
Some Tips:
Substitute canned crushed tomatoes for 2 large, vine-ripened tomatoes I use salsa dip purely for added flavour benefits. This is not a traditional Huevos Rancheros recipe, however, and you do not have to add it in if you don’t want to. If adding salsa dip, make sure it’s one you know and love already! Huevos Rancheros can also be baked in a preheated oven after cracking the eggs into the sauce. I find the stove top version a lot quicker, but it’s up to you how you’d like to prepare them. Just make sure you heat your oven before you start cooking, at 400 °F (or 200°C), and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until done to your liking.
