Huevos Rancheros (Grain-Free)

21 shares

  • Tweet

Many mornings I rush around trying to get the kids off to school and also cook a healthy breakfast like huevos rancheros.

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.

Serves: Serves 2

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.

    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!

    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.

    Over the years I have replaced the grains with a portobello mushroom. I also top the eggs with salsa, avocadoes, and a dollop of puree black beans on the side.
