Treat your ingredients with care...
- Corn tortillas — Warm them in a skillet to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
- Black beans — If using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly before heating.
- Avocado — Choose ripe avocados for a creamy texture and slice them just before serving to prevent browning.
- Plantains — Fry the plantain slices until golden brown for a delicious sweet and savory addition.
- Queso fresco — Crumble the cheese just before serving to maintain its freshness and texture.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a sprinkle of chili powder or hot sauce to the salsa.
- Customize your Huevos Rancheros by adding other toppings like sliced jalapenos or diced tomatoes.
- If you prefer a milder taste, use a mild salsa or tomato sauce instead of a spicy one.
- Serve with a side of warm tortillas or crusty bread for dipping into the runny egg yolk.
- Don't forget to have some extra salsa on the side for those who like it extra saucy.
Serving advice
Serve the Huevos Rancheros hot and fresh, straight from the skillet. The combination of flavors and textures is best enjoyed when the dish is still warm. Pair it with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for a complete Latin American breakfast experience.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Huevos Rancheros on a plate with the tortilla as the base, topped with the black beans, fried egg, salsa, avocado slices, fried plantains, and crumbled queso fresco. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a pop of color. The vibrant and layered presentation will make your dish even more appetizing.
