Mexican food is by far my all time favorite type of food. From breakfast burritos to mole enchiladas to pretty much every kind of taco, I can always go for some Mexican food — and I especially love working Mexican flavors into our breakfast.
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and when combined with Mexican food flavors, I could eat nothing else. Seriously. And … lately I’ve been on a Huevos Rancheros kick.
Brian and I hit up Mel’s Diner recently and I ordered their Huevos Rancheros. I was starving and I couldn’t wait for it to arrive at the table so I could dig in. But then it came, I took a bite, and I was grossed out. Ick. Blech. Barf. There were mushrooms in the ranchero sauce.
I’m sorry, but mushrooms don’t belong in any Huevos Rancheros that I am going to eat. I was so disappointed, I went to the grocery store later that day, bought some ranchero sauce of my own, and I decided to make my own Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Tostada Recipe.
This delicious breakfast tostada recipe was easy and fast. I started with white corn tortillas, and then layered them with refried beans, ranchero sauce, eggs and veggies, avocado, and green onions.
The secret to the extra flavor packed in these Huevos Rancheros is separating the ranchero sauce and mixing half of it into the refried beans to make them a bit saucier and spicier. Then pouring some on top of the beans under the eggs, and the rest over the top of the entire breakfast tostada.
I also try to work extra veggies in all of our meals, so I added chopped tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, and onions to the eggs. So yummy!
