Which Mexican breakfast dish consists of fried eggs served on tortillas with tomato-chili sauce?

Huevos rancheros is the Mexican breakfast dish of fried eggs served on tortillas with tomato-chili sauce.

The name means “ranch eggs,” reflecting the dish's traditional association with substantial breakfasts served on rural Mexican farms. A standard plate includes fried eggs on corn tortillas, covered with a cooked sauce based on tomato, chili peppers, and onion.

Beans, avocado, rice, and potatoes may accompany the eggs, but these side dishes are not required for the dish's identity. Recipes differ by region and household, especially in the type and heat of the salsa.

Huevos rancheros is distinct from huevos divorciados, which uses two different sauces, and huevos motuleños, which commonly adds ingredients such as black beans, ham, peas, and plantain. Chilaquiles instead center on tortilla pieces cooked in sauce.
