The recipe for the Green Ranchero Eggs was made in collaboration with McCormick®, however all opinions are my own.
The Green Ranchero Eggs recipe is a staple of my Mexican cuisine. This breakfast dish is comforting and perfect to start the day. The traditional huevos rancheros that everyone knows are made with salsa roja using red tomatoes and serrano chiles.

Notes
But at home, we love salsa verde, made with fresh tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, jalapeños, and seasoned with McCormick® ground cumin and black pepper. Both spices give it a rich smoky flavor, so typical of my Mexican cuisine. The use of the green sauce instead of the salsa roja gives this traditional huevos rancheros a new and delicious flavor twist.
This recipe for green ranchero eggs is excellent for breakfast, brunch, and even for dinner. Because who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner. My family loves that concept and many times I prepare for them their favorite breakfast dishes to enjoy at dinner time.
Preparing the ranchero eggs recipe is very simple. The green sauce can be made a day before to save time. This is essential to meet our busy morning schedule. And since the celebration of Mexico’s independence is next September 15th why not starting the day enjoying a delicious meal, like this green ranchero eggs. A complete dish to keep you satisfied.
The use of McCormick® spices in my kitchen is a longstanding tradition. I grew up learning to cook with my grandmother. Who always had available in her pantry McCormick® spices. Like cumin, black pepper, oregano and paprika. All delicious and with that special taste of home.
