How to Make Flaco Huevos Rancheros With Home Style Salsa

  1. **Prepare the Salsa:** In a small bowl, combine the chopped Roma tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  2. **Toast the Tortillas:** Lightly toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until warm and slightly crispy. Alternatively, you can warm them in the microwave.
  3. **Fry the Eggs:** Heat a little oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggs to your liking (over-easy is recommended).
  4. **Assemble the Huevos Rancheros:** Spread a layer of beans on each tortilla. Top with a fried egg and shredded cheese.
  5. **Broil (Optional):** For melty cheese, broil the assembled tortillas for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. **Garnish and Serve:** Top each Huevos Rancheros with sliced avocado, a generous spoonful of the fresh salsa, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
