Huevos Rancheros Wraps

Happy Friday!

Guess what? I am currently in Mexico, soaking sunshine in my bones and digging my toes in the sand. It’s awful…really! Seriously though, I’m taking a short vacation and will be back in a few days. When I return, I’ll give you guys all the juicy deets—promise!  We’ve had this vacay planned for awhile and I found an ahhh-mazing deal for it online, which I’ll also explain soon.

In my other life, I was totally a travel agent.

In the meantiiiiiiiiiiiiiime….how about a huevos rancheros wrap? And maybe a la paloma? It is Friday, after all.

This is totally one of those “recipes” that isn’t really a recipe at all and to be totally honest, I feel a little silly even posting this when it’s just something I make for lunch for myself on pretty much a daily basis.

Okay, maybe not daily basis…but definitely three-times-a-week-basis.

Ever since my neighbor turned hair stylist (yes, you heard that right) gave me some farm fresh eggs, I’ve been a total egg monster. Scrambled eggs for breakfast, huevos rancheros wraps for lunch, omelets for dinner…I’m on a roll and cannot be stopped.

If you have been reading this blog for more than three days, you know about my obsession with cilantro. I ADORE cilantro! But did you know that some people actually have a genetic aversion to it? To them, it tastes just like soap.

My biggest issue with making these wraps is rolling them up after I’ve overstuffed them with eggs, beans, salsa and avocado. You’d have thought I would have learned my lesson by now, but I’m still rollin’. And rollin’…and rollin’….

But when you wrap it up tightly in tin foil, it becomes the perfect little portable meal to go! I love when things work out like that.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

    Hope you’re loving Mexico!
    I just had to comment since I am a travel consultant and state that our main goal
    Is to provide the best overall Value to our clients all while educating the consumer on what’s good/not good and why…not getting them the best ‘deal’ because that doesn’t always hold value 🙂
    I obviously realize you said that because you’re happy with what you found but
    I’m always trying to help our generation (I’m 25!) understand what a travel consultant can do nowadays!
    (stepping off soapbox now!)

      I agree! ‘Best deal’ can be a huge waste of money if you aren’t careful. ‘You get what you pay for’ is most often very true. Now, off to find some eggs for this recipe…

    Ooh…..have a lovely rest of your holiday in Mexico, you lucky girl! I’m currently staring at a blanket of snow and not really liking what I see. LOL!
    And as for these Huevos Rancheros Wraps…yay! I am a huge fan of eggs and find it oh so easy to prepare for myself. However, I tend to be pretty boring and just scramble up some eggs. Loving this equally simple, yet so much more interesting egg dish. Definitely going to try this one out!
    Cheers!

  • Gina @ Running to the Kitchen
    March 9, 2012 at 8:08 am

    I’ve heard that about cilantro with some people. I have to say I am SO glad to not be one of them. I could eat that stuff straight from the ground in mouthfuls. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration but seriously, it makes everything so tasty! Enjoy Mexico, I’d kill for some sand + sun right now!

  • Kelly
    March 9, 2012 at 8:12 am

    I am totally making these sometime soon. It looks delicious!!

    I also adore cilantro. I used to work as a cashier and whenever anyone bought cilantro I would take a huge deep breath to take in the delicious scent.

    I would be so sad if cilantro tasted like soap.

  • Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning
    March 9, 2012 at 8:17 am

    That is a really interesting fact about the cilantro! I really like it, but know many people who HATE it! I love the combination of eggs and avocado (and tomato)- I should start bringing wraps like this for lunch!
    Have a great vacation!

    This recipe looks terrific!

    I was wondering though if you meant to list cilantro twice in the ingredients list? (If you meant to, that’s all good cos I love the stuff!)

  • Sharon

    Oh how fun! I’ve never been to Mexico-I’d really be interested in all the details of your trip-hope you post lots of pictures! And I will def. be making this wrap for breakfast tomorrow. With plenty of cilantro.

  • rose
    March 9, 2012 at 10:51 am

    Oh wow I despiiiiiise cilantro, it really tastes just like soap to me, blegh, aaand my mum and aunts are exactly the same!! I never knew it actually was a genetic thing?! I never understood how people even like it, let alone love it! Good to know!

    • Heather
      March 9, 2012 at 2:03 pm

      the genetic assumption is just a theory.. by the way…. you could learn to like cilantro if you wanted to 🙂

  • erin @WELL in L.A.
    March 9, 2012 at 11:23 am

    I love extended weekends in Mexico! And Mexican food… and the fact that this is a super easy little breakfast to make, wrap up and take to the beach here in SoCal. You know, for the weekends when hopping on a plane isn’t an option!

  • Deanna B.

    I could eat eggs for every meal. And I am a chronic egg burrito over stuffer. Its a curse.

    This wrap looks delicious! I really need to branch out with my breakfast. I usually have oatmeal everyday!

  • Angela @ Happy Fit Mama
    March 9, 2012 at 12:28 pm

    Huevos Rancheros are awesome! I love putting salsa on eggs so adding beans and cilantro makes it all better.

    A beach vacation in Mexico is necessary for March. Enjoy!

    So jealous – I could totally go for some tropical sun right now!! And these sound AMAZING!!

  • Heather
    March 9, 2012 at 2:02 pm

    Actually, that’s just a theory about genetic aversion. If you ask me, you can learn to like anything! There are several foods I wasn’t crazy about at first, but learned to like and now really love. It’s all about being adventurous and giving new things a try 🙂

    Wraps are the greatest way to take your meal on the go! Ever since I tried those spinach wraps at Starbucks a few years ago, I tried my hand on one at home and they are my favorite thing to wrap in a warm tortilla.

    Have fun in MEXICO! Adios!

  • Kristen @ notsodomesticated
    March 9, 2012 at 5:38 pm

    I love cilantro … I can’t imagine having that aversion to it! And the wraps look delicious. I also have a difficult time wrapping my wraps. 😉 They always want to fall apart!

  • Liz
    March 9, 2012 at 6:29 pm

    Apparently the “genetic aversion” is a not yet proven theory. I think for some it is an acquired taste. I used to HATE it with a passion, and thought that it smelled and tasted like soap. Now… I’m obsessed, too, and can’t get enough of it. I don’t know how/when the change occurred, but it did.

    Anyway, oddly, I was just reading about huevos rancheros on a recipe website. I like this version!

    This is totally random (as in not related to Mexico, Huevos Rancheros, or the food aspect of your blog) but…you should totally check out “Downton Abbey” when you get the chance. It’s a Masterpiece Classic series and airs on PBS! I know you love period dramas, and I bet you’d love this one! It takes place just following the sinking of the Titanic and follows the lives of a Lord, his family, and servants. I started watching “Mad Men” after you mentioned it and was hooked, thought I’d return the favor! 🙂

    o yum! I’d love this for lunch today, eggs are a staple for me but I’m always too lazy to dress them up much, I think its time I started! Hope you’re having a great trip too! I’m heading to Mexico in a couple weeks for Spring Break and I’m sooooooo excited! All I want to do is eat guacamole and chips and lay on the beach 🙂

    OK it made not be a true recipe but I would love to have some one have it ready for me in the morning. Looks delicious. Being in New England the Huevos Rancheros are no where near where they need to be.
