Description

If you love breakfast with a twist, you’re going to love this Huevos Rancheros recipe! It’s a fun breakfast but an even more exciting twist on dinner! It’s a budget friendly treat that will make you feel really special!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/8 a teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 diced roma tomatoes
  • 1 can chopped green chilis
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/3 cup cotija cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium high heat.
  2. Add onions and satue until soft, 2-4 minutes.
  3. Mix in cumin, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, and diced green chilis.
  4. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomatoes are soft. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  5. Heat a second skillet over high heat, spray the skillet with cooking spray and start to crisp up the tortillas until they are browned on the outside without being burnt. Flip halfway through. Do this with all 4 tortillas.
  6. Wash and re-heat the first frying pan over medium low heat. Spray with cooking spray of add oil to the pan.
  7. Crack two eggs in the pan and cook until the egg white is set. The goal is to cook the white but not the yolk without flipping the egg. But flipping the eggs is fine too, if that’s what you prefer.
  8. Set those eggs aside and cook two more.
  9. Assemble each plate with 2 tortillas, half of the tomato mixture, two eggs, half of the cilantro, half of the lettuce, and half of the cheese.
