Ingredients

• 4 pieces Corn tortillas
• 4 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Canned diced tomatoes
• 1 piece Green chili
• 0.5 cup Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 piece Avocado
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Cotija or feta cheese
• 1 piece Lime

Directions

Step 1

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the green chili. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and green chili and sauté until the onion turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another minute, stirring until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the ranchero sauce for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Lightly fry the corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds per side until warm and slightly crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 6

Use the same skillet (add more oil if needed) to fry the eggs sunny-side-up. Cook them to your preference, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 7

To assemble, place a fried tortilla on each plate. Spread a generous amount of the ranchero sauce over each tortilla.

Step 8

Place one fried egg on top of each sauced tortilla.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro, crumbled Cotija or feta cheese, and thinly sliced avocado. Add a dollop of sour cream and a wedge of lime for squeezing.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Tex-Mex Huevos Rancheros!
