Huevos Rancheros

Huevos Rancheros

Ingredients:
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 10 ounce can of Rotel or Hatch - chilies and tomato
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • butter
  • 4 eggs
  • additional seasoning to taste
    • Hatch chilies
    • cilantro
    • chili powder
    • cumin
    • Jalapeno peppers
Directions:
  1. Saute the onion in olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. When translucent, add the Rotel contents including the juice. Add chilies and peppers and other seasoning to taste. Reduce to low heat.
  2. Heat a warming tray or the oven to 150 degrees. In a non-stick skillet, add olive oil then heat each tortilla a minute or two on each side, then move to the warming tray or oven to keep warm.
  3. Add butter to the same skillet used to prepare the tortillas and fry the eggs to taste - soft or firm yolk is ok. 
  4. Spoon a little of the sauce onto a plate. Top with a tortilla then an egg. Add more sauce, another tortilla and another egg. Top with more sauce. Repeat for the second serving.
Serves 2 - very filling. Add a side of turkey bacon or beef bacon if desired.
