Huevos Rancheros Eggs

Breakfast

Saddle up partners and ride on down for the best breakfast this side north of the Rio Grande at Chef Point Café.  This Fort Worth restaurant serves Huevos Rancheros Eggs, a dish that cowboys and vaqueros alike will take kindly to.  The eggs are fixed just the way you like, then covered in a creamy ranchero sauce atop a tortilla and accompanied with black beans and hash browns.  This Mexican specialty has a colorful history, tasty ingredients and variations which all make it a must-have for tasters of top Tex-Mex fare.

When the Spaniards first arrived in the Americas, they brought domesticated chickens, which introduced eggs.  Mexicans created a now well-known breakfast that is a favorite in Fort Worth restaurants.  Huevos rancheros, or “rancher's eggs,” is a tasty delight of the Southwest.  The ranch is optional, so urban cowboys step right on up for a hefty helping of this South of the Border meal.  Traditionally, this large breakfast was served late in the morning on family farms to ranch hands and field workers after the day's first chores were done. 

Any respectable cowboy knows that a herd is only as good the cattle.  The same goes for Huevos Rancheros Eggs.  The eggs are the foundation of this meal but there are other supporting players, which are mighty important in making this a mouthwatering treat.  Tortillas are usually made of corn and fried.  Beans are traditionally refried, black or pinto and tend to be served on the side.  Tomato or chili sauce, usually a salsa, is cooked with huevos rancheros or it can be served alongside. 

With a dish a tempting as huevos rancheros, cooks are always coming up with ways to vary the original recipe.  Ever heard of a vegetarian cowboy?  Didn't think so.  That's why meat is understandably one of the most popular additions to this classic breakfast dish.  And for all those meat and potato lovers, they can add potatoes too.  Cheese is another common variation to this Fort Worth restaurant favorite.  Peppers, chilis, avocados, tomatoes and rice are additional alternatives. 

For all those ranchers or wanna-be ranchers looking for that something special at a Fort Worth breakfast restaurant, check out Huevos Rancheros Eggs.  This egg dish is light enough to be the first dish of the day yet filling enough to keep Texans two-stepping.  Make the most important meal of the day the best meal of the day at Chef Point Café.
