Huevos Rancheros

One of my favourite breakfasts. It makes for any easy an tasty way to get a few veggies in first thing too. This "salsa" is pretty easy but you do need a bit of cook time to get the flavours together. I like to make a batch and then freezer portion it to make this a bit quicker the next time.

Though this recipe may or may not be traditional ( I'm not arguing something I know little about) it is tasty, and that is what this blog is all about.

This is a breakfast of fried corn tortillas with sunny side up eggs and a spicy tomatoe sauce. You can garnish with avocado, lettuce, cilantro and limes.

Sauce

1/2 medium onion - roughly chopped
1/2 jalapeño pepper
1/2 Anaheim pepper
2-3 garlic cloves
1 can of  tomatoes ( sauce, chopped it really doesn't matter because your going to ken this up)
1-2 tsp of Avacado oil (any high temp oil in your pantry is just fine)



Pre heat a med frying pan. While your pan is heating put everything but the oil into a blender and blend until smooth. ( you don't want big chunks of hot pepper)

Once the frying pan is hot add the sauce. This step is important, the high heat is what is going to take the bitterness out of the pepper seeds.
Let the sauce cook doer several minutes, adding water if it gets too think or cooking a bit longer if it is too watery. You will want to taste and adjust salt and pepper. If your sauce is a bit to assistive and you don't have time to cook longer you can add a little sugar or honey to try and balance the flavours.

The rest of the Ingredients

4 eggs
4 Corn Tortillas
1/2 batch of sauce

Optional Garnishes

• Chorizo sausage ( I like to cut into small pieces and sauté. You can do this before making the sauce and then fry the sauce in the same pan for extra flavour)
• Avacado slices ( Use lime juice to keep the colour )
• Lettuce
• Cheese
• Cilantro

Prep any garnishes that you want to add to your plate.

In a sauté pan heat Avacado or Canola oil. Once heated fry each tortilla for a min on each side. Once fried drain on paper towels and set aside to keep warm. Drain any area oil, in the same frying pan fry your eggs "sunny side up" ( if your like me I steam baste them, but this is just personal choice)

Plate tortillas and add and egg on each tortilla. Pours sauce around eggs and garnish with your favourite toppings. 

Enjoy
