Course Breakfast, Brunch

Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 1 Serving

Equipment

  • nonstick skillet

Ingredients

  • avocado or olive oil
  • 2 corn tortillas
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup of your favorite warm salsa
  • avocado slices
  • queso fresco, sliced or crumbled
  • cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  • First thing is if you want to prepare more than one serving at a time, use an extra large nonstick skillet that has a tight fitting lid.
  • Preheat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil at medium heat in nonstick skillet.
  • After a few minutes, add two corn tortillas that are overlapping each other. Let them fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until they begin to crisp up.
  • Once tortillas are slightly crispy, gently add eggs towards center of overlapped tortillas. I cannot promise they won't try to slide to edge of tortilla! Lol! Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover skillet with lid to finish cooking eggs to desired doneness. All stove tops will vary as far as cooking times, so just watch them for the next 5-6 minutes.
  • Once eggs are cooked to your liking, transfer huevos rancheros to serving plate. quickly add salsa to hot skillet and cook just until warm. Pour salsa over eggs. Garnish plate with avocado, beans and Mexican cheese.
