How to Make Huevos Rancheros Tex Mex

  1. Prepare the Salsa (can be done ahead): Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened. Add the tomatoes, jalapeños, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
  3. Fry the eggs: Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggs to your liking (sunny-side up, over easy, etc.).
  4. Assemble the Huevos Rancheros: Place a warm tortilla on each plate. Top with a generous spoonful of the salsa, followed by a fried egg.
  5. Garnish and serve: Garnish with sour cream or crema fresca and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
