Huevos Rancheros

The term huevos rancheros translates as "ranch eggs" or "rancher’s eggs," so presumably, this style of egg preparation has rural origins.



Huevos Rancheros
Ingredients
  • 4 medium corn tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1 cup salsa ranchera , store bought or homemade
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, optional
Instructions
    1. Gather the ingredients.
    2. Heat the oven to 500 F/260 C. Brush both sides of each tortilla with a bit of the oil and place on a cookie sheet.
    3. When the oven is ready, bake for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how crisp you like your tortillas.
    4. Heat the salsa ranchera in the microwave or in a pan over high heat on the stove for about 2 minutes or until very hot.
    5. Heat the remaining oil in a small non-stick skillet. Fry eggs slowly on one side until whites are firm and yolks are runny.
    6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
    7. Place 2 fried tortillas on each plate, overlapping somewhat. Place 1 fried egg on top of each tortilla.
    8. Pour about 1/4 cup of the salsa over the top of each egg; this will further cook the top of the egg. Let it sit for about 1 minute before garnishing with cilantro, if using, and serving.
