Method

Prepare Ranchero Sauce

  1. 1

    Heat the Oil

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.

Fry the Eggs

  1. 5

    Heat the Skillet

    In another skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Season with salt and black pepper. Fry until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
