This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Smithfield. All opinions are my own. Inside: Learn how to make Huevos Motuleños, one of the most delicious authentic Mexican breakfasts around. Jump to Recipe I am so excited to share another authentic Mexican breakfast recipe with you all today. I have mentioned previously that breakfast is such an important part of Mexican culture. There are so many great options, and one of those is this recipe for Huevos Motuleños. One of the great things about this particular recipe is that you can make it in about 20 minutes, which is made easier by using Smithfield Anytime Favorites Ham Steak.

With the school year starting, I am always trying to make sure that we have a variety of breakfast options for my kids. Not only do they have to be delicious, but they need to be fast and easy to make on busy mornings. While it can be tempting just to give my kids cereal before school, I know that it is important that they have a tasty, protein-packed meal so that they can perform better. Studies actually show that when kids have a hearty and wholesome breakfast in the morning, they are more likely to attend school and perform better on standardized tests. With two kids in school now, I know how important it is for kids to eat a well-balanced diet. That is why I was excited to hear that Smithfield is partnering with No Kid Hungry for a second year in a row. They are doubling their donation this year to two million meals to support the organization’s in-school breakfast programs in order to help the 1 in 6 American children struggling with hunger. Smithfield is encouraging others to get involved and help provide meals to kids in need. When you make a Smithfield breakfast, share a photo of it on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter using #BreakfastPower and for every post shared, Smithfield will donate enough for 10 meals to No Kid Hungry, What Are Huevos Motulenos? Huevos Motulenos come from a city in the Mexican state of Yucatan called Motul. It is a very hearty and delicious recipe that can be modified according to your individual tastes. The basic recipe consists of two fried tortillas, topped with refried beans, ham, fried eggs and salsa roja with peas. I like to spice mine up a little bit with some chopped jalapenos, but that is definitely optional.

What really gives this version a distinct flavor is the Smithfield Anytime Favorites Ham Steak, which I love to grill slightly before putting it right on top of the refried beans. This is a great way to add some delicious hickory smoked flavor to this dish and ensure that it is filling.

Smithfield Anytime Favorites are definitely one of my go-to products when I want to add some delicious ham to any of my recipes. They come in 20 different cuts, including sliced, diced, chopped, and steaks. I used the ham steaks for this recipe, but any of the other cuts would be great as well. You can find it at your local grocery store.

This is a great authentic Mexican recipe that anyone can make. I remember eating this often when I was a young girl growing up in Mexico, and I like to serve it to my children now as well. It allows me to teach my boys a little bit about Mexico, and to teach them why eating a hearty breakfast is so important.

The Best Huevos Rancheros – An Authentic Mexican Breakfast Recipe

Charbel Barker — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 01:49:35 +0000

Inside: Huevos Rancheros may be simple, but the flavors are complex and delicious. This is about as authentic of a Mexican breakfast recipe as you will find.

My favorite meal of the day is definitely breakfast. That probably is the result of growing up in Mexico where breakfast is the largest, most important meal of the day. There are many different Mexican breakfast recipes, so people rarely get bored. Today I am going to share one of the best breakfast recipes in Mexico – huevos rancheros.

Huevos Rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast that everyone should try at least once. I say at least once, but I am sure that you will try it many more times after you make it the first time.

This classic breakfast recipe is delicious and easy to make. I always used to help my mom and my abuelita make these when I was a little girl, and they made a regular appearance on our table for breakfast.

What Are Huevos Rancheros?

So now I bet you are wondering how we make this famous Mexican breakfast, right?

The basic recipe consists of some simple ingredients – eggs, fresh vegetables, tortillas, beans, and cheese. This is a very filling, and hearty breakfast option that will help you start the day with a good amount of protein.

The great thing about huevos rancheros is that you can always modify it to meet your needs and cravings. It is a very versatile dish, and one that I recommend you try making as soon as possible!

One way I like to make huevos rancheros even better is by sauteing some potatoes, onions, and big pieces of ham. That is exactly how I like to make them!

How Do You Make Huevos Rancheros?

Just like my mom and abuelita taught me to make this recipe, I also have enjoyed teaching it to my kids. It is great for kids who want to learn to cook, because there are very few steps.

Step 1: To start, you will want to saute the potatoes, onions, and pieces of ham in a little bit of olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2: Next, lightly fry a tortilla and heat up the refried beans. Once that is done, spread a thin layer of the beans over the tortilla.

Step 3: When that is done, fry the egg to your preference. I usually do not like runny eggs, but with Huevos Rancheros I often make it like this. Obviously, you can cook the yolk through if that is what you (or your kids) prefer.

Step 4: After the egg is done, put it on top of the tortilla and beans before topping with delicious salsa and queso fresco. I prefer to make this with my own salsa roja or salsa verde recipe, but you can also use store-bought if you are pressed for time.

Step 5: Finish off the dish by serving with the potato, onion, and ham mix – all of the flavors, when combined make for an unforgettable breakfast!

I hope you enjoy these huevos rancheros. Let me know in the comments below how it turned out.
