I love huevos rancheros and have pined for them ever since I left my hometown in southern California. So, when we have a little time on our hands, I like to go all out and make a special meal. Typically, huevos rancheros are a breakfast dish, but since they are filling and protein rich, this version makes a great dinner too.
To up the vitamin and fiber quotient, I used dry beans in the recipe and served it with a side of kale. Feel free to sub in favorite ingredients or techniques. All in all, this is a beautiful, healthy, and fortifying dish–perfect for a Sunday morning, or a busy weeknight dinner.
