Breakfast
A while ago, I saw an Instagram reel showing someone making feta-fried eggs, and it got my wheels turning.
I rushed to the kitchen, grabbed my knife, and started winging it. Like most times I throw something together in the kitchen without any real plan, it came out Mexican. Before I knew it, I had unintentionally whipped up a huevos rancheros recipe with feta-fried eggs.
Unlike most recipes, I nailed this one the first time around. I wrote it down right away, and it’s been a staple in my home ever since.

Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious huevos rancheros recipe:
- 4 small corn tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 3 Tbsp. crumbled feta
- 1/4 lb. venison Mexican chorizo (if you don’t have Mexican chorizo, you can cheat by using ground venison and 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning)
- 1/2 Tbsp. butter
- 8 grape tomatoes
- 12–15 thinly sliced jalapeño rings
- 1/2 avocado, sliced with a paring knife
- Salt and pepper
- Cilantro leaves (for garnish)
- Cholula sauce
Directions
- Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat and brown the chorizo, adding tomatoes and jalapeños halfway through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a frying pan, immediately sprinkling the feta into the eggs before they set up. Season with salt and pepper. Cook them to over-medium.
- While the eggs are cooking, either lightly fry the tortillas or warm them in the oven.
- Once the eggs are cooked, place them on the tortillas and top them with the chorizo mixture. Garnish with the avocado, cilantro leaves, and a few dashes of Cholula sauce.
