Ingredients (2 servings)

2 corn tortillas
2 eggs (preferably with bright, runny yolks)
½ cup warm tomato salsa or ranchera salsa
¼ cup guacamole (or 1 mashed avocado with lime & salt)
2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
2–3 tbsp finely chopped red onion
A handful of fresh cilantro
½ lime, cut into wedges
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: refried beans, crumbled cheese (cotija/feta), extra chili

How to Make Huevos Rancheros

1. Warm the Tortillas

Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 30–40 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
If you want a crispier base, add a touch of oil and lightly fry until golden at the edges.

2. Heat the Salsa

Warm your salsa in a small pan.
Homemade or store-bought both work — warm salsa brings the whole dish together.

3. Fry the Eggs

Add a little oil to a pan and fry the eggs sunny-side-up.
Season with salt and pepper.
The goal: a set white and a runny yolk.

4. Assemble the Dish

Place the warm tortilla on a plate.
Spoon some salsa on top.
Add the fried egg right in the center.
Finish with dollops of guacamole, sour cream, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro.
