Cooking Tips

Perfectly Cooked Eggs:
Cook the eggs to your liking. Sunny-side-up or poached eggs work well for huevos rancheros.
Corn Tortillas:
Briefly heat the corn tortillas on a dry skillet or in the oven for added flavor and pliability.
Dried Beans vs. Canned:
While canned beans offer convenience, consider using dried pinto beans for the refried beans for a traditional touch.
Mash to Desired Consistency:
Mash the beans to your preferred consistency – some like them smooth, while others prefer a chunkier texture.
