Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo Refried Beans

I will be the first to admit that I’m not really a breakfast fan. I never really have been. I didn’t eat it much while I was growing up and that bad habit followed me into adulthood. When I do make breakfast it is usually the same ol’ same ol’: eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Frankly it was getting a tad bit boring. I felt I need to burst out of my boring breakfast shell a little bit and try something with a little more flavor, something with a little kick, something like these huevos rancheros with chorizo refried beans.

For the record, I know that usually huevos rancheros does not involve chorizo and in its purest form doesn’t even have refried beans. But I felt like shaking things up a bit. It was a little bit of a risk but what can I say, I live on the edge. OK maybe not really, but I do like experimenting in the kitchen and unlike my apple pie (more about that in a couple weeks), this experiment actually turned out really really good. I was eating the chorizo refried mixture by the spoonful as Ryan was taking pictures.

You will notice that this recipe calls for 4 – 8 eggs. Some people like 1 egg on their huevos rancheros and some people like 2. Do what ever suits your fancy.
