Ingredients

Salsa

  • 30 ounces fire roasted tomatoes
  • ½ cup white onion roughly chopped
  • 2 fresno peppers roughly chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • salt to taste

Huevos Rancheros

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 4 large eggs

Garnish

  • avocado
  • cilantro
  • queso fresco

Instructions

  • To prepare the salsa, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend/process until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, warm the vegetable oil on medium. When the oil is bubbling, fry the corn tortillas until they bubble up but only until the get crispy. Flip and fry each side, then transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Transfer the salsa to the same skillet and heat on medium. Stir occasionally. Lower heat if salsa begins to bubble and splatter.
  • In a non-stick pan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. When the butter begins to sizzle, add two eggs to the pan. Let the eggs cook for a few minutes. Cover with a pan lid to make sure the egg white is cooked through and not runny.
  • Remove the cooked eggs from the pan and transfer to a covered plate to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining two eggs.
  • Place two tortillas on two plates each. Spoon the warmed salsa in the middle of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with a fried egg. Garnish as desired.

Notes

If you would like a less spicy salsa, remove the seeds from the fresno peppers before you add them to the blender/food processor.
