Why freshie? Because you can easily pull together these huevos rancheros – or “rancher’s eggs” – with a fresh salsa. Rather than a traditional tomato chili sauce, which involves garlic and onions sautéed with dried chilies.
If you want an egg with extra crispy edges and a yolk that still oozes as you cut into it, add a wee bit more fat to your pan. Baste hot fat on top of the egg whites. This small steps transforms any bit of runny, undercooked white into firm and bubbly perfection.
To ensure these huevos rancheros don’t assault your digestion, your usual refried beans and tortilla have been left out of the recipe. Making them Whole30 compliant. If you identify as paleo and find yourself looking for a grain-free base reminiscent of tortilla, try this Yuca Plantain Flatbread (AIP) .
Oh, and don’t forget the adobo .

Refreshing Kickstart to the Morning. This recipe is a great starting point and easy to substitute other ingredients based on leftovers, preference, etc. I swapped in some grape tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes which made the salsa deliciously sweet. I also kept the jalapeno seeds in the mix because I prefer my dishes with a kick. Took less than 20 minutes to prepare and looked absolutely gorgeous on the plate. Highly recommend due to its ease and versatility.
