Huevos Rancheros

By Effimiya

This popular dish is usually prepared with sunny-side up fried eggs; we made it with scrambled eggs to save time.

Ingredients

• 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 10 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• Sauce Rancheros
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• Diced avocado, sour cream, and chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush tortillas on both sides with 2 tablespoons canola oil; lay on a baking sheet. Bake until crisp and brown around edges, 7 to 10 minutes.

In bowl, beat eggs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook eggs, stirring, until set but still moist, 6 to 8 minutes.

Place tortillas on plates; top with eggs, sauce rancheros, and Monterey Jack. Garnish with avocado, sour cream, and cilantro.
