Tortillas and Beans

Eggs

Method

Prepare Ranchero Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook the Base

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Jalapeño

    Add the minced garlic and diced jalapeño to the onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

  3. 3

    Combine Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and lime juice to the saucepan. Stir well and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.

Cook the Eggs

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Cook Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (over-medium), about 4-5 minutes.

Assemble Huevos Rancheros

  1. 6

    Prepare Tortillas and Beans

    In a separate pan, lightly toast the corn tortillas until they are crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Spread approximately 1/2 cup of refried beans on each tortilla.

  2. 7

    Top with Eggs and Sauce

    Place the cooked eggs on top of the refried beans, then spoon the ranchero sauce over the eggs.

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle crumbled panela cheese, sliced onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños on top. Finish with a dollop of sour cream.
