Mmmmm Huevos Rancheros

I love Mexican food. I cannot get enough of it. I would eat fresh corn chips and salsa every single day if I could!! I love to cook, it helps me relax and I get a lot of satisfaction from making healthy fresh meals for my family!

This is a super easy meal to make and it's loaded with fresh ingredients. You can make it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I made these ones for dinner last night.

This is the one I made for my husband with eggs:



This is the one I made for myself without eggs:




Recipe:

Makes 4 servings.

Ranchero Sauce:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped white onions
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup chopped tomatoes and their juice
1 cup chicken stock

3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons canola oil
4 large corn tortillas
1/2 cup warm refried beans
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups pepper Jack

Directions:
To make the Ranchero Sauce, in a medium pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cumin, salt, cayenne, jalapeno, and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juices and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the stock and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the cilantro. Adjust the seasoning, to taste, and cover to keep warm.

In a large skillet, heat 1/2 teaspoon of canola oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla and cook until warmed through and just starting to brown about 30 seconds. Turn and cook on the second side. Remove, cover to keep warm, and repeat with the remaining oil and tortillas.

In 1 medium skillet, melt 1 tsp of butter each, over medium-high heat. Break 2 eggs into the skillet and fry until beginning to set, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the eggs with the cheese and cover to finish cooking, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Place 1 warm tortilla on each of 4 plates and spread each with 2 tablespoons of warm refried beans. Place 1 egg on top of each tortilla and top with the warm Ranchero Sauce. Serve immediately.
