Traditional Mexican Huevos Rancheros
👨🍳 Instructions:
Make the Sauce:
Heat oil in a skillet. Sauté onion until soft.
Add garlic, tomatoes, and chiles. Simmer 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened.
Blend for a smooth sauce or leave chunky for rustic style. Season with salt, pepper, and optional cumin.
Prepare the Tortillas:
Lightly fry corn tortillas in a bit of oil until golden but still pliable. Set on paper towels.
Fry the Eggs:
In a nonstick skillet, cook eggs to your liking (sunny-side-up is traditional).
Assemble Huevos Rancheros:
Spread warm refried beans on tortillas (optional).
Top each with a fried egg.
Spoon warm ranchero sauce over the eggs.
Sprinkle cheese on top — let it melt slightly from the heat.
Add fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, or onion.
Serve Hot!
Best enjoyed with warm tortillas or toast and coffee or fresh juice.
💡 Pro Tips:
For extra richness, try adding chorizo under the eggs.
Want more heat? Add roasted chipotle or hot salsa on top.
