Anytime Meal
While huevos rancheros are a common breakfast or brunch meal, when you turn them into enchiladas they make for a great anytime meal for lunch or dinner too! Loaded with hearty rice and beans, chorizo, vegetables and egg you’ve got everything you need to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Huevos Rancheros with a Twist
Loaded with tasty ingredients, you’re guaranteed flavor in every bite! While authentic huevos rancheros are traditionally made with fried eggs served on top of corn or flour tortillas with salsa, avocado and refried beans, this version wraps everything together.
Starting with the filling, use your choice of spicy or mild chorizo, hearty white rice, Monterey Jack cheese and canned pinto beans to carefully spoon into your tortillas. We suggest using corn tortillas, however, flour tortillas will work just as well if desired. Once you’ve got your tortillas filled, they are oven-baked to perfection in red enchilada sauce and extra cheese!
Toppings can include (but not limited to): fried, poached or scrambled eggs, avocado, cotija cheese, cilantro and even salsa if desired.
