Today I am spoiling my children with these rancheros made at home. Though I don't eat them I feel happy to prepare them for my sons and my husband. To make them at home may be they are more costy than to buy them out because you have to buy everything you need, but it makes the difference when they are made at home because you are sure all the ingredients are fresh and of good quality, and the best of all is that you use strict sanitary standards.
These sandwiches rancheros are eaten in American franchises and in Mexican street kioskos, and they are a favorite dish when you want to eat fast food. Chicken is the favorite filling. I am going to make them as easy as possible and with my own cucumber pickles and saute peppers and onions. I usually make my own peasant bread, but I decided not to work too much today because I need to rest. My husband bought some breads in town which were very soft, but that what he found.
