Vegan Huevos Rancheros

Vegan Huevos Rancheros

Feeling like something new for dinner, my sister and I worked together to create this dish. We’re definitely calling it a huge success!

A flavorful, satisfying recipe with a Mexican flare, these vegan huevos rancheros are definitely worth a try. They’re full of texture and spice, and the fresh guacamole and lime juice give a refreshing twist. Plus, by replacing eggs with a spiced tofu scramble, they’re totally vegan and totally delicious. My family loved them, and I hope you will too!
