Skillet Huevos Rancheros is a hearty and flavorful Mexican-inspired breakfast made with fried eggs, warm tortillas, ranchero sauce, and toppings like beans, cheese, and avocado—all cooked in one pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup refried beans or black beans
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup ranchero sauce or salsa
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or queso fresco
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sour cream and hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Warm the tortillas in the skillet until slightly crispy, then set aside.
  3. Spread refried or black beans over each tortilla and return to the skillet.
  4. Crack one egg over each tortilla and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour ranchero sauce or salsa around the eggs and sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
  7. Remove from heat and top with avocado slices, cilantro, and optional toppings like sour cream or hot sauce.
  8. Serve immediately straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • Use a lid while cooking to help the eggs set faster.
