Hot Molletes sandwiches with fried eggs and bacon

Moyetes are open-faced Mexican breakfast sandwiches traditionally made with refried beans and cheese and baked over a flame. Top them with slices of juicy tomato (like a hot brown) and a fried egg. As an alternative to the fat typically used on beans, the sandwich is topped with bacon bits.

Mexican Scrambled Eggs – Huevos Rancheros

The scrambled eggs in this breakfast are topped with a ranchero-style sauce: roasted tomatoes, spicy ancho chiles, and smoked chipotle peppers. To make breakfast easier, make the sauce ahead of time and reheat it before serving, thinning it with a little water if needed.

Mexican Scrambled Eggs with Sausage – Huevos con Chorizo

The name says it all: it's a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs with chorizo. As with most simple dishes, the quality of the ingredients is crucial, so try to find a good chorizo—in this case, fatty and spicy. The amount of fat rendered during frying determines how much oil you need. Mexican chorizo ​​is sold ground or in sausage form—if the latter, remove the casing before frying.

Breakfast burrito

This Tex-Mex-inspired burrito is filled with chorizo, hash browns, avocado, and shredded cheddar. Not a big fan of hot peppers? You can tone down the heat with a savory pico de gallo sauce. If using jalapeños, be sure to remove the seeds.

Chilaquiles with chicken and physalis sauce

This Mexican dish is a great way to use up leftovers. Leftover tortillas, either sliced ​​or tortilla chips, are cooked in salsa verde until soft. They can be eaten on their own, but many people like to add beans, eggs, or chicken. Top the dish with fresh queso fresco, a mild white Mexican cheese, to tie the dish together. If you can't find queso fresco at the supermarket, use feta cheese instead.
