Ingredients

For sauce:

  • 1 15 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 Serrano pepper
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For assembly:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 corn tortillas
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese

Instructions

For sauce:

  • In a blender add tomatoes, garlic, serrano pepper, onion, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • Once blended, add to a 10-inch skillet set over medium-high heat. Simmer on low to help the flavors meld together while you prepare the rest of the huevos rancheros.
  • If your sauce gets too thick simply thin out with a little water.

For assembly:

  • In a 12-inch skillet set over medium-high heat add vegetable oil.
  • When the oil is hot add your tortillas (1 or 2 at a time) and cook for a few minutes on each side, about 3 minutes total.
  • Remove the tortilla from the pan and place on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
  • In the same pan, add the butter, and when it has melted cook the eggs either sunny side up, or over easy. Continue cooking until all the eggs have been cooked.
  • While the eggs are cooking spread each tortilla with an equal amount of refried beans.
  • Add 1 cooked egg per refried bean tortilla.
  • Pour an equal amount of tomato sauce over the eggs and then sprinkle with cilantro and Cotija cheese.
