    Spicy chipotle huevos rancheros

    Is there a better way to brunch than huevos rancheros? In my opinion, no!...well except maybe when its kicked up a notch or two with some chipotle peppers and jalapeños! Just like you need to season every layer when breading and frying, I believe that you have to season every layer in this spicy chipotle huevos rancheros dish!

    Let's run through all of the components, all of the layers of flavor in this eggs-cellent dish!

    Huevos (eggs)

    Typically poached or fried. But when you're making this at home, you can make them however you choose! I love a runny fried egg for this. Simply finished with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt!

    Tortillas

    Your preference, corn or flour. I prefer corn usually, I just love the flavor and texture with the huevos. But I have to get a quick char on my mine by heating over the flames on the gas stove. You can also fry them in oil really quickly or heat them in the microwave to soften.

    Beans

    I love refried beans for this, they have the best texture because they're kinda mashed you can spread on the tortillas as a base. But regular black beans or pinto beans are also great with this dish. and you really don't need to season them, but I love to give refried beans an additional flavor kick, adding jalapeños and onions, are such simple ingredients that provide such a flavor boost.

    Salsa

    Warm chipotle salsa (see recipe below), made with canned tomatoes, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic and cilantro. All blended together and cooked with toasted cumin seeds and sautéed onions. Now this is super quick to make, but I have to admit when it comes to putting this dish together in a pinch, a store bought salsa will definitely work. Just try to warm it so it does not make the entire huevos rancheros dish cold.

    Toppings

    Take your pick! You don't have to top with anything at all with the flavors already in the beans and salsa. Or you can be like me and top with everything! Think: sour cream, cheese, cilantro, hot sauce, avocado. Yea the toppings always make the dish for me! What are your favorites??

      I've never actually toasted cumin seeds and always just use powdered cumin but wow what a boost in flavour there is when using seeds. Thanks so much for the tip!
