This Easy Huevos Rancheros Recipe Is Like Mexico in a Mug

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Muhlenberg chapter.

You know the feeling. You sit in the last few minutes of your 11 a.m., your stomach is growling, and all you can think about is how great Taco Bell sounds right now. The problem? You only have 20 minutes to shove food into your face before your next class starts.

I, for one, ride this particular struggle bus at least twice a week. But take heart, fellow overachievers. I’ve come up with the answer to all of your full-schedule/empty-stomach problems: Huevos rancheros you can make in a mug.

If you’ve got a microwave, ten minutes to spare, and a few easy ingredients on hand, you can make this Mexican breakfast classic in a cinch. My favorite part is that it’s endlessly customizable-add avocado, corn, tortilla, rice… if it’s spicy and fits in your mug, it’s fair game.

¡Vamanos! You’re just a few minutes away from a cheesy, egg-y, breakfast fiesta.
