I recently shared with you my recipe for Mexican style meat, and how I take that recipe & turn it into several different meals for my family. Â These Easy Huevo Rancheros is just one of the many ways I use this meat, and one of my very favorite as well.
If you’ve followed along with my Mexican style meat tutorial, and already have this wonderful base ingredient on hand – then this huevos rancheros ‘recipe’ will be a breeze. Â I also make these up when I have a little bit of shredded meat leftover from a recipe – anything from leftover pot roast, to pulled pork, even leftover taco filling. Â It’s a fantastic way to use up leftovers!
If you can fry an egg, then you can make these huevos rancheros.
You layer a little cheese, a fried egg (leave it a little runny if that’s what you like), meat, & salsa on a toasted corn tortilla. Top it with a little chopped green onions. It. Is. So. Good.
Yummmm.
