Huevos Rancheros for One

There are tons of recipes for Huevos Rancheros, they're all different and they're all right.  The best thing to do is cook what you like.  There is a lot of versatility with this recipe.  I like it because it's crunchy, it's spicy, it's different and delicious.  This can be made with fresh salsa or Adobo Verde Sauce.

Huevos Rancheros for One


A handful of tortilla chips, or a corn tortilla deep fried
1 egg
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup refried or black beans
1/4 cup chorizo
1 Tablespoon cojita cheese
Garnishes: avocado, tomato, salsa, adobo verde sauce, olives, cilantro, and hot sauce.

1.  On a plate, place the handful of tortilla chips.  Fill a small saucepan, about half way with water, and add 1 tablespoon vinegar.  Bring water and vinegar to a boil.  When the water is at a very gentle boil, carefully crack the egg into the boiling water.  Use the back of a wooden spoon to create a gentle whirlpool around the egg, this helps the egg white get fluffy.
2.  As the egg cooks, cook the refried beans in a small skillet.  When heated through, put beans on top of tortilla chips.  Wipe out skillet, and add chorizo.  Saute chorizo until it's cooked and hot.  Add chorizo to the top of the beans and tortillas.
3.  Check the egg to see if it's cooked.  If done, carefully remove egg with a slotted spoon, add to the top of chorizo.  Add garnishes and enjoy!
