Huevos Rancheros
Description
This recipe for Huevos Rancheros begins by sautéing onions and garlic, then seasoning with cumin, salt, and pepper before adding fire-roasted tomatoes and diced green chiles to make a flavorful salsa base. The salsa simmers briefly to meld flavors.
Small white corn tortillas are warmed in a skillet and spread with a spoonful of warm refried beans. The tomato and chile salsa is spooned over the beans, then topped with eggs cooked over easy or fried. The creamy yolk complements the tangy, spicy salsa and hearty beans.
Chopped fresh cilantro and diced avocado garnish the huevos, adding herbal brightness and creamy texture. It is a filling dish often served for breakfast or brunch and offers a range of textures from soft beans to crisp tortillas with smooth eggs.
