Huevos rancheros or “ranch-style eggs” is a hearty breakfast, originally for workers on Mexican farms. Today, huevos rancheros are very common in brunch and breakfast menus in North America. At Familia, we make ours with Pico de Gallo, queso fresco (cheese), crema, avocado, cilantro, and of course the eggs and corn tortillas.

INGREDIENTS
(FOR ONE PERSON)

Corn tortillas (1 or 2) – we recommend the corn tortillas (not flour) as they add tons of flavour to the dish
Eggs (2 or 3)
Toppings of choice: Crema fresca (or you can use sour cream), avocado cut in small dices, Pico de Gallo, fresh cilantro, queso
fresco (cotija or mozzarella cheese works well too)
Olive or avocado oil, salt and pepper
Optional: Refried beans, Jalapenos, Salsa Verde, Mexican Salsa

METHOD

Your first step is getting ready with all the ingredients. Start by preparing the salsa. If you’re using pico de gallo, prep it first. This is quick and easy to make by dicing tomatoes, green onions, white onions and cilantro, mixed together with lime juice, salt, pepper and a drop of white vinegar.
Next, lightly fry the tortillas. Cut them into small pieces and then in a non-stick skillet with olive oil, cook them over medium heat
for approx 60 seconds.
Then, cook the eggs. Add more oil to the skillet and fry the eggs to your liking (we recommend you cover the saucepan for faster and proper cooking),
Just before the eggs are done, add some of the pico de gallo and cheese (sprinkle on top of the eggs). When the yolks are cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the huevos rancheros (you can leave them in the same skillet, or transfer them to a plate). Add the cream in the centre of the
skillet and add all the other toppings.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro around the dish, add the slices of avocado on top and voilà, you just made your own huevos rancheros! Enjoy!
