Instructions
Make the Huevos Rancheros Sauce
- In a medium saucepan add 2 tomatoes and a serrano pepper(s). Add water until you cover the tomatoes.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat, and bring the two tomatoes and serrano pepper(s) to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and let them cook for 5 - 10 minutes, or until you notice the skin of the tomatoes tearing.
- Once the tomatoes are ready, peel the tomatoes and add them, along with the serrano pepper, chopped onion, garlic clove, salt, and pepper into a blender. Add ¼ cup of the water used to boil the tomatoes. Blend until smooth.
Make The Huevos Rancheros
- Place the corn tortillas between two paper towels on a plate. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds to warm the tortillas.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil, and then add the 4 eggs. Fry the eggs for about 3 to 5 minutes depending on how runny or firm you like your eggs. Salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, empty a drained can of refried beans or 15-ounces of Instant Pot Refried Beans. Cook for about 5 minutes until the refried beans are heated through.
- On each plate, place 1 corn tortilla, top with refried beans, 1 egg, Huevos Rancheros sauce, and cotija cheese. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired
