How to Make Eggs Rancheros

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2 chopped scallions. Sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained. Cook for 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference), and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet. Gently stir until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly moist.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Arrange tortilla chips on a plate. Spoon the egg mixture over the chips and serve immediately. Garnish with extra cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or avocado, if desired.
