Hearty Egg Breakfast
Huevos Rancheros, or ranch-style eggs, is a hearty and filling breakfast, traditionally made with tortillas, eggs, salsa and other vegetables. Our version turns this classic Mexican dish into an elevated rice bowl layered with flavor in every bite.
Starting with the base, we’ve used Texmati® White Rice (as featured above), which is an American grown, unique hybrid grain featuring a captivating aroma (many liken the smell to freshly popped popcorn), fluffy texture, and welcoming nutty flavor. The rice base is combined with pinto beans and simmered with broth, lots of spices and veggies garnished with fresh cilantro.
After the rice and beans base is ready, prepare your homemade pico de gallo and assemble with your favorite ingredients. Use our suggested topping ideas, or get creative and incorporate your favorite flavors to complement the spicy salsa, rice blend and eggs. A few alternatives include lettuce, sour cream, or another type of cheese such as Oaxaca, Monterrey Jack, Cotija or feta.
This bowl is perfect for a weekly meal prep recipe idea, or an indulgent breakfast or brunch idea.
Freshly Made Pico de Gallo
One way to give your breakfast bowl over-the-top flavor is by using quality, fresh ingredients to make your own homemade pico de gallo. This recipe uses a simple blend of tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. However, if you choose to reduce the heat, omit the jalapeño or use a milder pepper such as bell pepper.
