These Loaded Huevos Rancheros are a great start to any day. Lightly fried tortillas, refried beans, Potatoes O’Brien, salsa, eggs, and cheese make this a hearty breakfast that’s full of great flavor!
I’m sure I’ve told you this over and over…
Breakfast is my most favorite meal of the day. Be it pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs. You name it, I most likely love it. Oh, and you can’t forget the bacon!
Oatmeal, smoothies. Although I haven’t tried a smoothie bowl yet. Those things seem a little ridiculous to me, to be honest. Why put something of that consistency into a bowl when you can sip it out with a straw? And yes, I get that you put other stuff on top of it like coconut flakes, nuts and whatever that wouldn’t fit through said straw, but still! Pop those things separately into your mouth between each sip, for crying out loud.

We like to go out to breakfast and when we do Kurt always, and I do mean always because he never orders anything else, orders Huevos Rancheros. Never pancakes, omelets, waffles or an egg sandwich. Huevos. That’s it. I’ve never ordered it because I’m not one for runny eggs. They kind of gross me out.
UNTIL NOW!
Serve these French Breakfast Puffs, Pear Cream Cheese Danish, or Brown Butter Rum Banana Bread along with the Loaded Huevos Rancheros.
THIS RECIPE has changed all that for me. Seriously! I made this recipe for Kurt for Father’s Day and we all seriously LOVED it!
These Breakfast Quesadillas would be perfect with your Mexican breakfast theme. How delicious would this French Press Breakfast Chocolate be to drink with it, too? Ok, it may not be Mexican, but it sure does sound super delicious! These Bacon, Egg Breakfast Tacos would be fun to make and easy to eat. This 4-Ingredient Fruit Salad will be a gorgeous addition to your morning table, too! It will be a fiesta for breakfast with all of these delicious recipes!
It was SO very delicious, with great flavor in every single bite. I will definitely be making this again and again.
It was quite filling and feel free to leave to omit the refried beans or the Potatoes O’Brien, but I have to tell you that each of those added so much to the dish.
