huevos rancheros

Mexican breakfast plate

Huevos rancheros is a Mexican breakfast dish of fried eggs served on tortillas with a tomato-chile sauce, often accompanied by beans, rice, or avocado.

The Spanish name means "rancher's eggs," suggesting hearty rural fare.

The dish has become a staple at American brunch spots: I'll have the huevos rancheros with a side of guacamole.
