Cast Iron Huevos Rancheros - Single Serving
Single serving ~ Easy to scale up for more people!
Huevos Rancheros (rancher’s eggs), is a breakfast dish that stems from traditional large mid-morning fare on rural Mexican farms. It really is a delicious breakfast, but around here we also like it for dinner. It’s quick to make, cheesy, saucy, a little bit spicy, and therefore pretty much checks all the boxes for me.
This recipe makes one serving. If you’re making huevos rancheros for several people you can make them one at a time (each one only takes a few minutes), or build them on a rimmed baking sheet so you can cook several at one time.
If you want to take this recipe one step further, start with homemade corn tortillas! If you have a tortilla press, a batch of homemade corn tortillas takes less than 20 minutes, start to finish, and are incomparably better to the packaged store-bought variety.
*No recipe required: As with all no recipe required dishes, this is more of a formula than a recipe. Use more or less of anything and swap out the vegetables, kind of salsa and cheese, type of beans as you like.
You know what sops up the leftover saucy, yolk covered sauce in the bottom of the pan?
Homemade flour tortillas.
Soft, warm homemade tortillas are one of the best things in the whole wide world. Combine that with how easy they are to make and flour tortillas from scratch becomes one of the few life decisions for which there can be no regrets.
Unless you eat them all yourself. Even then. Probably worth it.
This all-butter recipe is so easy and delicious, you may never buy tortillas again.
