Need a hearty, flavorful breakfast to fuel your day? This Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Sandwich is the perfect breakfast sandwich: hearty, full of flavor, and fast & easy to make at home!
When you need a hearty breakfast, what’s your Go To quick fix that you can make at home?
I usually make morning smoothies for me and the kids on most weekdays. But when I need/want a BIG start to the day, I love huevos rancheros.
Eggs, salsa, beans, avocado, cilantro… all of those yummy flavors are even BETTER when you can eat them with two hands in a breakfast sandwich!
Whether dining out or making breakfast at home, there’s something about the full combo of protein + veggies + sauce between bread that screams the perfect breakfast to me.
While working with Franz Bakery on some recipes for their website (which is recently redesigned and looks fab – go check it out!), I created a flavorful and fully satisfying breakfast sandwich I think you’ll LOVE.
❤️ Why you’ll love this breakfast sandwich
This recipe has everything you NEED in the perfect breakfast sandwich:
- Protein from the egg and refried beans
- Good fat from greens. In this case, avocado, which is technically a fruit, but here it sort of takes place of regular breakfast sandwich add-ons like spinach or kale.
- Added flavor from a condiment. In this case: salsa.
- Carbs for get-up-and-go fuel. I use English muffins.
This is seriously a super simple breakfast recipe that you can put together in minutes. If you’re like me, you probably already have the ingredients in your refrigerator and pantry.
It’s great to make when you have guests who have stayed the night. And many kids love it as much as adults!

Question: Did you toast the English muffin before assembly?
Most people do prefer them toasted, but you can eat them untoasted. I’ve updated the recipe. Thanks!

I love smoothies in the morning as well! And this sandwich looks nothing less then perfect!
This looks incredibly scrumptious! But I think when i do this I’m gonna have to add a little bacon. Thanks for the recipe though!
I love everything on this, especially the avocado! What a fantastic twist on the classic breakfast sandwich!

I’ve never thought to do huevos rancheros as a sandwich. Such a great idea! This looks like a hearty breakfast that will last me till lunch for sure.
Great idea! Huevos rancheros used to be one of my favorites in my egg eating days, but it never occurred to me to make a breakfast sandwich out of it.
I have never thought about a breakfast sandwich a la Ranchero! This is definitely going to become my new obscession!
