Are you team savory or team sweet for breakfast?

Nothing beats a giant stack of pancakes, but let’s be real, savory breakfast can be hard to find without eggs and meat.

I’m on a mission to make allll the yummy savory vegan breakfasts and this huevos rancheros recipe fits the bill.

What is huevos rancheros?

Traditional huevos rancheros (aka farmer’s eggs) is a fried egg on top of a tortilla with lots of spicy salsa. It can be served with refried beans, rice, and guacamole too.

We’re no traditionalists here! Instead of a fried egg, this recipe is piled high with tofu scramble and creamy refried beans.

Ingredients for vegan huevos rancheros

Refried beans, tofu scramble, tortillas, salsa, and avocado are all the components in this dish. Topped with cilantro and served with a lime wedge, you have yourself a perfect savory breakfast.

How to make refried beans

1. Cook onions until nice and soft
2. Add green chilis and seasonings
3. Add rinsed and drained pinto beans, cover, and let cook for 5 minutes
4. Use a potato masher to get beans to desired consistency.

Tip: To get velvety smooth refried beans, use an immersion blender instead of a potato masher.

How to make tofu scramble

1. Press a block of extra firm tofu
2. Use hands to crumble tofu over a pan (use the same pan from the beans to save dishes!)
3. Add seasonings and cook until heated through

Assemble the vegan huevos rancheros by spreading refried beans on a heated tortilla. Top with tofu scramble, salsa, and avocado.
