    Why is it called huevos rancheros?

    Huevos rancheros mean "eggs ranch-style" because it's a Mexican breakfast dish typically served at Mexican farms.

    Ingredients for this recipe

    Eggs: The start ingredient! 

    Beans: Use canned beans. Any bean type works with this recipe.

    Onion: Use chopped onion for extra flavor.

    Garlic: For extra flavor.

    Tomato: Use canned tomatoes and tomato puree for a thicker sauce.

    Bell peppers: Use green bell pepper and red bell pepper for a colorful dish.

    Cilantro: Garnish with chopped cilantro on top.

    White wine: Use dry white cooking wine for extra flavor. Don't worry about the alcohol. It will evaporate while cooking.

    Water: For cooking.

    Seasoning: Use salt and black pepper for seasoning.

    How to make this recipe

    Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat and drizzle a little bit of oil.  Saute the garlic and onion for 2 minutes or until softened. Add the chopped bell peppers and saute for 5 minutes.

    Then, add the canned tomatoes, tomato puree, and mix to combine. Pour the white wine into the pan, stir and let it cook for 5 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated. Stir often to prevent burning.

    Next, add the beans, water, season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce. Stir occasionally.

    Low the heat, make small wells in the bean mix, and add the eggs. Cover with a lid and let the eggs cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked to your taste.

    Serve your huevos rancheros with chopped cilantro on top and sliced bread on the side.
