Huevos Rancheros Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ranchero Sauce

   In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, jalapeño, and diced tomatoes, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down. Stir in cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes and then set aside.

2. 2

   Fry the Tortillas

   In a separate large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the corn tortillas one at a time until crispy, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

3. 3

   Cook the Eggs

   In the same skillet used for the tortillas, crack the eggs and cook them sunny side up or to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Assemble the Dish

   Place a crispy tortilla on each plate. Top with a fried egg, generous spoonfuls of ranchero sauce, and sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro.
