Many mornings I rush around trying to get the kids off to school and also cook a healthy breakfast. I find myself simultaneously signing school papers, emptying the dishwasher, getting a load of laundry started, making sure the kids’ backpacks are ready, braiding hair. . . do you get where I’m going? One of my favorite savory breakfasts, huevos rancheros, has a bit of a kick to it and is a nice change from my usual scrambled eggs. I make use of some staples I always have on hand to create a quick and nourishing meal.
Black bean puree (made ahead of time and stored in the fridge) gets topped with two fried eggs, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and if I’m going to get really fancy, I add some avocado and cilantro. Huevos rancheros – without the grain.
Huevos Rancheros (Without the Grain)
Make the beans ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serves 2
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
1 tablespoon ghee
4 large eggs
Toppings:
2 tablespoons salsa
2 teaspoons sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 avocado, sliced
Place beans, lime, garlic and salt in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Puree.
Melt ghee on a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crack eggs over skillet and cook until whites are no longer translucent. Smear a couple tablespoons of bean puree on the plate. Top with two eggs, salsa, sour cream, cilantro and avocado. Serve immediately.

This looks so great! I love that you omitted the grains. I best the salsa and avocado taste fantastic with this! Thanks!
My face could establish residency in those runny yolks.
Oh my goodness- we are bean eating machines at my house- why have I never thought of this? Thanks for the recipe/idea!
This is going to be my next breakfast. Last week I did eggs over wilted spinach and it was yummy.
Great breakfast idea…or even dinner:)
This one brings back memories! One of my favorite hotels in San Diego, The Catamaran, used to serve on their menu – 2 poached eggs with refried beans – their version of Huevos Rancheros. It consisted of Two poached eggs on oven baked tortillas, with refried beans and salsa verde topped with cilantro. It was their beans that made this dish. Their beans were incredible, they had BACON in them. They also used a homemade salsa verde in lieu of the traditional red salsa. YUM! Yours look incredible! I’m definitely going to make these for breakfast. Thanks!
Mmmm…runny yolks! This recipe is such a great way to start the day with healthy fiber and protein. Love it!
Definitely a much more nutritious option!!
I struggle with grain free breakfast ideas. This looks delicious. And warm and filling with winter sneaking up on me. Thanks!
Carrie! I just love this! huevos is one of my favorite, but I only have it occasionally because I think of it as being so unhealthy- this would be great for any morning!
Huevos Rancheros is one of my top 3 breakfasts of all time. I do like it on a tostada but I like your grain-free variation as it sounds just as satisfying.
I need these eggs in my life. Now.
Loved seeing you this weekend!! XXOO
I agree with Marla, on both accounts.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share all your info on grain free eating. I’m looking into it this morning and just shared it with my husband. We’re going to do this thing!
What you’re doing here, helping people be healthy and feel good is fabulous. Keep on truckin!
And I third Marla & Amy!
So loved getting to know you & you sweet heart this weekend. I am so excited to dig into this. It’s going to be life changing and especially wonderful to share with my sister who has celiac disease.

I’m loving all your grain free posts – but this is a particular fav – I’d top mine with a v spicy hot salsa!
Now all I want are these eggs, and I already ate breakfast. Guess I’ll just have to wait til tomorrow!
this looks perfect! I love making huevos rancheros at home, especially with homemade corn tortillas when we have time.
I made this for my husband this morning & he loved it!! I am now posting this on my blog so others can try it!
