Huevos Rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast that typically layers crisp tortillas, fried eggs, savory salsa, and hearty black beans. While delicious, traditional versions can be a little carb-heavy, so I’ve created a low-carb twist that delivers all the bold flavors without breaking your Keto goals.
I’ve loaded this dish with salsa, chiles, chorizo and cheese, but you can also stuff it with sautéed low-carb vegetables, like bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach, all nestled beneath perfectly runny eggs. As soon as you cut into those golden yolks, they mingle with the warm salsa and melty cheese to create a creamy, satisfying bite in every forkful.
Top it all off with shredded cheddar or cotija, and you’ve got a breakfast that’s not just Keto-friendly—it’s something to look forward to. Simple, nourishing, and deeply satisfying, this is how you rise and shine the low-carb way.
