The only component missing from this meal (for us) was a hang-over. What we didn’t miss ~ bacon, fried eggs, fresh Pico de gallo, cheese, green chiles and black beans, all served atop a warm tortilla. Even better if you add a little of the bacon, cheese & green chiles to your frying eggs. Like this:
You don’t have to say it. I already know I’m too twisted for color T.V., but this kind of twisted is delicious. If you’re not a fan of bacon, it’s okay. Just don’t use it. Pile on the veggies and eat your heart out. Now that really would be twisted.
Pico de gallo (small batch):
1 c. tomato, diced
1/2 c. onion, diced
1/4 c. fresh cilantro
Fresh jalapeno to taste
Kosher salt to taste
A couple squirts of fresh lime juice
Stir all ingredients together and set aside. This is better if you make it in advance and allow the flavors to meld in the fridge. Remove it before serving though so it’s not too cold on your warm food.
Huevos Rancheros (for 2)
2 tortillas (I used flour)
4 slices quality, thick sliced bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled or chopped into pieces
4 free-range eggs
1, 4oz. can green chiles, diced
Black beans, if desired (my husband is not a fan of black beans so I omitted them from his)
1-2 c. Mexican cheese blend or your preference (freshly grated is always better)
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Chile powder to taste
Warm your tortillas in a skillet with a very small amount of oil, until tortillas are warm and a little puffy. Place warm tortillas in foil and/or a warming drawer so they stay warm. Add butter or olive oil to the same skillet and, when hot, break 2 eggs side-by-side. Add salt, pepper and a little chile powder. Follow with about 1 T. each of bacon (if desired), green chiles, and cheese. Sprinkle over eggs. Cook eggs until whites are set, about 3-4 minutes for a runny egg.
Place fried eggs on warm tortilla and cover with more cheese, bacon, Pico de gallo, beans, avocado and whatever else your little heart desires.
Enjoy!!


mmm…. I’ve never eaten this before but it looks delicious!
Oh, you should definitely try. It’s great hangover food (if needed), otherwise delicious. Hits the spot for me everytime!
Looks wonderful just the way you made it. My husband and both love black beans. I grew up with beans meaning pinto beans. Do they still serve them as a school lunch in Oklahoma?
I could eat this as a supper just as well as a breakfast.
Yes, it makes great supper food as well! I worked in a public school for 8-years and never saw pintos on the menu. Sad, but I don’t think people are exposed to them as much anymore with our emphasis on refined foods and as a consequence, we don’t appreciate them. We grew up eating beans a lot, and I love them so!
nom nom!!!
Looks good! Our kids saw this and wanted us to make it right away…we will tell you how it goes!
I hope you enjoy!! My husband had to eat his in the bedroom because our boys wanted theirs and his too!
my fave breakfast. with some avocado as well. black beans rock!!
So yum!! I am such a huge fan of black beans. They are simply delicious!
now you are totally talking my language here!
Ha!Ha! Can’t pass up on Huevos rancheros, huh?
This one is a keeper! <3
Enjoy! I may have to eat one again this weekend!
