What’s in huevos rancheros?
Huevos rancheros is a vegetarian breakfast recipe that offers a ton of protein! Here’s a quick look at what makes it so amazing:
- Eggs: I like my sunny side eggs on the runnier side, but you can cook them to your liking.
- Black Beans: These work with the eggs to create a great amount of protein that’ll actually keep you full until lunch time. Don’t forget to drain and rinse them!
- Tortillas: Flour tortillas are my favorite to use, but you can swap them with corn tortillas if preferred.
Can I make huevos rancheros gluten free?
Sure thing! Just use gluten free tortillas instead of flour tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten free, so they’re a great option.

How to Store and Reheat
Once everything is assembled, huevos rancheros are best enjoyed fresh. Reheated sunny side eggs are never very pleasant so enjoy your breakfast while it’s still warm!
Notes from the Test Kitchen
You can make this recipe as simple or not simple as you like. You can use a ranchero sauce, or make fresh salsa or use store bought. You could also add pulled pork or chicken.
