Huevos Rancheros is a classic Mexican breakfast that is guaranteed to awaken your taste buds. This hearty dish consists of fried eggs, a spicy tomato sauce, and crispy tortillas, making it a perfect choice for a filling and flavorful start to your day. Prepare it if you're craving something special for the breakfast table or want to bring a little Mexican flair into your day. The combination of spicy flavors and fresh cilantro offers an unforgettable experience.

Steps

Prepare the Sauce

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño, and cook for another 1 minute. Pour in the diced tomatoes, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in half of the chopped cilantro and the lime juice.

Cook Tortillas & Eggs

In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas one by one, for 30-60 seconds on each side, until lightly browned and pliable. Set them aside. In the same pan, fry the eggs to your liking (e.g., sunny-side up) until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.

Serve

Place 2 tortillas on each plate. Spoon the spicy tomato sauce over them, then top each with 2 fried eggs. Garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro. You can also serve with avocado, feta cheese, or sour cream if desired.

Extra Tips

► For the sauce, you can also use fresh tomatoes; just peel and dice them.

► If you prefer a creamier texture, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt next to the eggs before serving.

► You can also warm the tortillas in a dry pan if you prefer not to fry them in oil.
