What does one do with left over taco ingredients?? Make huevos rancheros (or more tacos…)! Duh.
I made these sweet potato tacos for dinner a couple Fridays ago and they were killer, seriously go make them now. Anywho, I had plenty of taco ingredients left over since Tom was in Wisconsin all weekend and I was eating solo. I’ve tried plenty of variations of huevos rancheros at restaurants with many different flavor combinations and I’ve decided that I prefer mine with TONS of salsa. I’ve been known to eat salsa by the spoonful. Don’t judge. I usually love avocado on mine too but I’ve recently discovered that it hurts my tummy… Very sad day.
I rarely eat breakfast (oh shush, I know it’s the most important meal of the day) so when I do, it has to be light. These huevos rancheros are super light but bursting with flavor. Perfect combination. My favorite part is the roasted corn because it adds a sweet element to off set the tangy salsa and spicy jalapeño.
Huevos rancheros recipe time:
huevos rancheros
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 six inch corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp cilantro roughly chopped
- your favorite salsa
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
- 1/2 cup roasted corn
- 1/2 jalapeño pepper thinly sliced
- fresh lime juice from one lime
- sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- heat a nonstick skillet over low heat (yes, low) and add nothing to it (no oil or cooking spray)
- crack one egg into a bowl and pour it onto the hot skillet (repeat for second egg too)
- then wait… about 5-6 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking! I didn’t flip mine because they are prettier for pictures this way but you can obviously do what pleases you
- heat up tortillas in an oven preheated to 300 F for about 2-3 minutes
- place one egg on each tortilla then top with cilantro, corn, salsa, cabbage, jalapeño, lime juice, salt and pepper then enjoy!
So colorful. I love colorful recipes! Happy Tuesday 🙂
