How to Make Mexican Skillet Eggs And Rice

  1. In a 10-inch non-stick skillet, cook 1 pound of Mexican sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1 ½ cups long-grain rice, the contents of one 1-ounce packet of your favorite Mexican seasoning (such as taco seasoning), 2 cups of water, and 1 cup of your favorite salsa.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed.
  5. Gently create four wells in the rice mixture, one in each quadrant of the skillet.
  6. Crack 4 large eggs, one into each well.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook for 7-9 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking and the rice is tender.
  8. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately with warm tortillas, your favorite toppings (shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, etc.), and enjoy!
