What Huevos rancheros means
Huevos rancheros is a Mexican main dish name of Spanish origin meaning "ranch-style eggs". It is built from Spanish huevos (eggs) and rancheros (of the ranch). It is pronounced WEH-bos ran-CHEH-ros, and it is most associated with the whole country.
Ranchero marks a whole class of country dishes cooked plainly with tomato and chile. The name says who ate it, not what is in it.
This is a site about what Mexican words mean, so there is no recipe here. For the name itself: The plated dishes, most named for a cooking method or a place. Cochinita pibil is pork cooked in a píib, the Maya earth oven. Barbacoa gave English the word barbecue. Chiles en nogada is named for the walnut sauce that covers it.
