Huevos rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast dish which has become popular throughout much of the Americas. Translated from the Spanish as "eggs ranch-style" or "country-style," the dish traditionally would have been served at the large mid-morning breakfast, or almuerzo, on rural farms where workers had a much smaller meal at dawn.

The basic version of huevos rancheros consists of corn tortillas fried lightly, and fried eggs with a tomato–chili sauce. Refried beans (frijoles refritos), slices of avocado, fried potatoes, and extra chili peppers are common accompaniments. Scrambled eggs can be used instead of fried eggs.

As the popularity of the dish has spread beyond Mexico, variations have inevitably cropped up. The American food writer, Clementine Paddleford, found a version in 1950s Texas that called for the eggs to be poached in a tomato-bacon sauce, and served on toast. More commonly, the variations involve flour tortillas instead of corn; pure chili sauce (or enchilada sauce) instead of tomato-chili; additions such as cheese, sausage, and sour cream; and garnishes of fresh tomatoes and lettuce. The use of pre-made salsa and packaged tortillas makes huevos rancheros considerably less labor-intensive.
