Huevos rancheros and chilaquiles are very similar. They are both traditional Mexican breakfast dishes, made from almost the same ingredients. The difference lies mostly in how the tortillas as used. For huevos rancheros, the eggs are served over warm tortillas, and smothered in warm sauce. In chilaquiles, however, the tortilla chips or strips are combined with the warm sauce before the are served, softening them before the eggs are added.
