History
Huevos rancheros come from the Mexican countryside breakfast: fried eggs over crisp corn tortillas, bathed in a tomato and chile salsa made with whatever was on hand. Today they are a standard breakfast in fondas and restaurants across Mexico and one of the most widespread Mexican dishes in the United States.
Cultural Notes
Son el desayuno de fonda por excelencia, servidos con frijoles refritos, aguacate y café de olla. Comparten mesa con sus parientes cercanos: los huevos divorciados, una mitad con salsa verde y otra con roja, y los huevos motuleños de Yucatán.
