Ingredients

• 4 pieces corn tortillas
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large tomatoes
• 0.5 medium white onion
• 1 small jalapeño pepper
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup refried beans (optional)
• 0.25 cup queso fresco (optional)
• 1 medium avocado (optional)
• 2 pieces lime wedges (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the tomato-chile sauce: Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño. Mince the garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the garlic and diced tomatoes to the skillet, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down and the mixture has thickened slightly. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in chopped cilantro and remove from heat. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly fry the corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds per side until they are pliable but not crispy. Drain them on paper towels, and keep them warm.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, and crack the eggs into the pan. Fry them to your desired doneness (sunny-side-up is traditional for Huevos Rancheros).

Step 5

To assemble the dish, spread a layer of refried beans (if using) over each tortilla. Place a fried egg on top of each tortilla, and generously spoon the tomato-chile sauce over the eggs.

Step 6

Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, sliced avocado, and a squeeze of lime if desired. Serve immediately, and enjoy your homemade Huevos Rancheros!
