college brunch

better-than-brunch huevos rancheros

Brunch is by far my favorite meal. Through my brunch experiences, I have realized that I love huevos rancheros. While I do love going out for brunch and getting my huevos rancheros in a cute little cast iron skillet, they’re so easy (and so cheap) to make at home. Using ingredients I already had from making my taco salad bowl, I whipped up my take on simple huevos rancheros. Usually they come with a hot chili sauce, but I used salsa to make it easier. I also made a healthy version of refried beans for the taco salad that go perfectly with the huevos rancheros.


Cook: 10 min

Ready in: 10 min

Serves: 1


Ingredients:

  • egg
  • spinach
  • whole wheat tortilla
  • beans (bean dip or canned beans)
  • avocado
  • salsa
  • olive oil

supplies

  • spatula
  • frying pan

Instructions:

  1. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in the pan over medium-high heat
  2. When the pan is hot, crack the egg into the pan to fry it. Cook the egg how you like.
  3.  When the egg is cooked, take it off the pan and add a little more olive oil. Put the tortilla on the pan to heat it up and brown it, around two minutes.
  4. When the tortilla is brown and crispy, add the fried egg, spinach, bean dip, salsa, and avocado.
