CourseBreakfast
Place of originMexico
Main ingredientsTortillas, eggs, tomato-chili sauce, refried beans, rice, avocado or guacamole

Basic dish

The basic dish consists of fried eggs served on lightly fried or charred corn or flour tortillas topped with a salsa fresca made of tomatoes, chili peppers, onion, and cilantro. Common accompaniments include refried beans, Mexican-style rice, and guacamole or slices of avocado, with cilantro as a garnish.[3]

Variations

As the dish spread beyond Mexico, variations using wheat flour tortillas instead of corn, and pureed chili or enchilada sauce instead of tomato-chili salsa fresca, have appeared.[3] Non-Mexican additions such as cheese, sour cream, and lettuce also have become common additions beyond the dish's native range.[4]

Huevos divorciados

"Huevos divorciados" (divorced eggs) are simply two eggs served in the same style as huevos rancheros but with a different sauce for each egg – usually a salsa roja and a salsa verde.[5]

Somewhat similar dishes are huevos motuleños of Yucatan[6] and New Mexican enchiladas montadas.[7]

Another variation, "huevos ahogados" or drowned eggs, is a traditional Mexican breakfast of eggs poached in a tomato-chile salsa.[8]
