Huevos Rancheros

What’s your favorite way to serve up eggs? I’ve always loved Huevos Rancheros and even more so after the Carnival cruise I went on recently….

While on board the ship I enjoyed Huevos Rancheros as often as I could. This recipe can easily be adapted with any veggies & proteins you like!

Isn’t that blue water gorgeous?!

Below is a photo of the eggs I enjoyed on the cruise…..I told ya. They were amazing! Seasoned perfectly with Mexican spices & fresh pico de gallo. They used pinto beans & served the dish with a few delicious salsas. One of my favorites was a smoky chipotle sauce.

After I had this for brunch on the ship, I would lie out on the decks and enjoy the bright sunshine & the blue Caribbean Sea. It was the ultimate way to unwind & relax!

This recipe takes hardly any time to prepare, so it’s perfect for when you are entertaining, or trying to feed the family a quick & healthy meal!

What could be better than runny, drippy eggs….

All you need to do is season & heat up some black beans. Top them with some fresh tomato & avocado salad. Then that runny, drippy egg!

Top that with feta, goat or queso cheese & sliced green onion.

What you end up with is breakfast or brunch perfection. Great for dinner too….
