👨‍🍳 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.

For extra richness, try adding chorizo under the eggs.

Want more heat? Add roasted chipotle or hot salsa on top.
